Where'd the document search function go?

Hi folks.

Just tried to search for a document having preselected a label and the search box vanished :o   Is this a bug?

In standard "My Documents" screen it's "Now you see it":-





If I select a label, in this case one called "Common Parts" then it's "Now you don't":-



Google Chrome56.0.2924.87 (Official Build) (64-bit)

    I think I've seen this type of thing happen with certain Chrome extensions.  If you have extensions installed, disabling them will likely make the search box come back.

    Thanks for the fast reply. 

    (1) Just checked Chrome extensions and all I've got is google docs and sheets / slides.  With them all turned off the behaviour is the same.
    (2) Tried firefox and that did the same.

    Perhaps I imagined that this could be done?  Does OS support searching within a Label?

    owen_sparks,

    We are actively working on enhancing the search experience inside Onshape in various areas, would you mind open an improvement request for this for us to better prioritize the functionality.

    Thanks

    Hi @kevin_guo

    Thanks for the reply.

    @andy_morris sent me a mail stating that he'd added me to request #53280 so I believe it is in hand and does not require an additional improvement request?  If that's not the case and you'd still like me to start a new one I'm happy to do so.
