Description
On the BuddyPress Code Reference page, there is a search icon located on the left-hand sidebar (see highlighted image). However, this icon does not perform any action when clicked. Meanwhile, a fully functional and well-placed search box is already present in the main header section.
This creates a confusing user experience, as the non-working icon might mislead users into thinking it's an active search function.
To improve UX and maintain design clarity, it is recommended to either remove the left-hand search icon or ensure it performs the same function as the main search box.
