The new mobile search bar had been living as a prototype. This was the moment to make it carry real traffic.
I rolled it into Find, Adopt, and Explore, then removed the extra wordmarks that no longer needed to sit beside it. The bar already carries the brand, and the bottom nav already gives people a stable way home, so the old headers were making the top of the screen busier than it needed to be.
A lot of this pass was about readability. In its idle state, the bar needed to look obviously searchable. In its filtered state, it needed to explain what was happening: what you are browsing, where you are looking, and whether filters are active.
I also brought desktop closer to the same visual language. Search should not feel like a different component just because the viewport changed. The desktop version still has more room and more segmented controls, but it now feels calmer and closer to the mobile experience.
The result is a search surface that feels more embedded in Wags: less floating SaaS chrome, more like a warm product control that belongs on the page.
