Where is the search bar on the Matlab File Exchange website?

This is more of a recommendation to the MathWorks website developers rather than a quesiton.

I don't use File Exchange (FEX) often, but when I do, I typically access it through the browser rather than the AddOn button in Matlab. Recently, I noticed that the search bar is missing from FEX, making it impossible to find anything. Upon closer inspection, and five minutes later, I eventually realized that the search option a tiny, barely visible, icon tucked away in the corner of the browser.

To the MathWorks developers responsible for this significant usablity change: why would you hide such a fundamental feature on FEX, which is such a tremendous resource for Matlab users? This change makes it much harder for the users (espicailly those new to Matlab and unfamiliar with FEX) to find what they need and could potentially discourage some from using Matlab.

Thank you for the suggestion. However, the design change I mention above does impact the Matlab community so I will leave this post open in case other MathWorks staff/users want to weigh in.

You can absolutely leave the post here for others to see. If you want a discussion, you might consider moving this to the Discussions section of MATLAB Cetnral. If you want MathWorks developers to see your feedback, then be sure to submit your feedback using the link I shared.
