Hello. I am trying to modify the search box on my DNN website so that the search text box is always open. Currently, you have to click the search icon which then opens the text box to type the search text. I would like it to have the search box alwasy open and not need to click the icon. Thanks

If you use the default Xcillion:

The styling is now overflow: hidden;
So, adding in the portal css

.search {
overflow: visible;
}

or if needed
.search {
overflow: visible !important;
}

will make the field visible.
