KB Summary by Now Assist

Description

In the global search text box in the instance header, clicking the magnifying glass icon does nothing or closes the text box instead of performing a search.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. In the instance header (top right of screen), click the magnifying glass icon to expand the global search text box.

  2. Type some text.

  3. Click the magnifying glass icon.

    Nothing happens and/or the global search text box collapses. No search is performed.

 

 

Workaround

This is expected functionality. The magnifying glass icon in the global search text box controls the display of the text box. To execute a search, press the Enter button.
