Describe the feature you'd like
When browsing on mobile, I would like to see a search bar on the page itself. It would be nice if this could be a toggle option in the settings.

Describe the benefits this feature would bring to BookStack users
Bookstack is a Wiki platform and the first thing people want to do when arriving at a Wiki, is perform a search. Getting to a search box should't require extra clicks, like through the 3 dot menu

Thanks for the request, but I'm going to close this off since it's had no further demand since opening.
If needed, it would be possible to add and always-visible search bar via the visual theme system with a little hacking.

Just came to ask for the same thing. Thanks for the tip on the visual themes @ssddanbrown - I’ll check that out. But I do think it’s something people would like, as I’ve been wanting it for some time and only now thought to search GitHub for it. :)
