Search bar missing

[Stéphane Veraart (Devoteam)]

Is it just me or is the search bar on top missing? I was demonstrating it to my users a few days ago but just this morning I found it missing from the top menu and/or is it part of the new UI in some way?

Yes, Atlassian released a new layout for Cloud a few weeks ago.

Thanks, Nic. I already replied in that thread as well before posting this question - meaning that I was in the right place to put it there.

I'm not particularly fond of the magnifying glass option now, since it doesn't bring up search results as it did before. For a knowledge base that can be useful*
