I mean is it just there for show? I usually have to press enter on my keypad for it to work. Touching the search icon doesn't work.

Skill issue
Or do you mean
Inexplicably
For whatever reason
That you are trying to click the magnifying glass instead of pressing enter/search

I'm referring to that. I thought that was a standard feature on websites.

Why would you lift your finger from the keyboard up more than half a screen away to tap the magnifying glass instead of just hitting the fricking enter key on the keyboard you're using

Habit. You're used to hitting "comment" "Post" on websites after typing something out. So it carries over to searches. I assume it's a common function on all websites for a reason. I mean, it's not a big deal. No need to seethe.
!codecels. Thoughts? Is this an inexplicable/stupid expectation?

Lots of searches these days will auto complete and provide option you can arrow down to...

Is carp being unreasonable about {{topic}}

Realistically I assume he'll make the magnifying glass clickable once he sees this
But until then I am going to defend it like there's no tomorrow
Your inefficient boomer usage of your phone is not a UX issue here

it's not an entirely unreasonable expectation given that clickable search icons slowly replaced discrete "search" buttons in most places, but you're still an r-slur for posting about it

The main reason I posted about it is because I associate the search icon being useless with crappy blogs
. It reflects poorly on the site more than the fat black woman banners.

all evidence points in the direction of this site being a crappy blog platform so that tracks

yes it's a stupid expectation but consistent UX language in the last decade has informed that expectation and devs are expected to conform to such "standards"

I'm going to assume the codecels agreeing with me here are correct and you're just ignorant

I am the best kind of designer
I do what I want 
and then get mad when the users are confused because I didn't follow "standards"

Sites should support both, a form without submission controls (unless it auto-submits like instant search) is stupid. The accessibility is horrible and it's just confusing in general.

You are right, and stuff like this is important for powerusers (not in the rdrama sense, just people with basic computer literacy)

Who clicks buttons anymore
And they probably meant to implement at some point and kinda just forgot since everyone presses enter anyway.

It's more convenient on mobile tbqh. It also feels a bit too amateurish to leave it like that. Like some of those scammy blogs that the owner hadn't even bothered to fully build.

It's easier for me on the desktop because one of my fingers is near either one of the enter keys anyway. I don't even think about it. Search+enter is muscle memory at this point.
Same with submitting stuff with ctrl+enter (that was one of my suggestions
)

No, you're just r-slurred.
I've always wondered why GUIs become shit over time, and it's from implementing pointless features that some r-slurs babble on about.

It's an indicator, not a button.

Would "icon" also work?

You will never be fully vaccinated. You will never be on the correct formulation, you will never have the correct dose, you will never be on the correct manufacturer. You may have gotten a booster shot but all of that can change on a political whim and now you are a plague rat and crude mockery of nature's perfection. All the βvalidationβ you get for your Fauci Ouchie on social media is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you and take bets on how soon you're going to die. Your employer has taken a million-dollar life insurance policy out on you and implores you to get one more booster. And even when you do, you will still never be fully vaccinated. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your βfriendsβ laugh at your sickly appearance, your clammy pale greasy skin, and your coal black glassy meth addict looking vaccine eyes behind closed doors. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved at the six-figure settlement they're offered in return for telling everyone you died of natural causes or covid-19. And that it was your fault because you were not fully vaccinated. They'll bury you with a headstone marked with your false cause of death, and even though you took the vaccine, and you took the booster shots, every passer-by for the rest of eternity will know that it was your fault for not being vaccinated. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably unvaccinated. This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.
