Standardize/improve the buttons and options at the top of search results
I know the information display on search result cards has been discussed for re-designing to make it easier for casual users. I hope that will extend to the information and buttons that live under the search bar but before the results as well.
In our catalog, customizations like the text strings and Vega guides have made it busier admittedly, but I would like the text sizes, button shapes, colours, and/or selectability indicators to be more consistent and arranged in a way that is more intuitive for navigation (easier said than done I know).
It is especially noticeable on smaller screens. It took me an embarrassingly long time to locate the Save Search button in the attached screenshot, for example.

Hi Samantha,
Thanks for your comment and sorry I took so long to reply. The icon definitely does help.
I guess my specific suggestions would be to move the "Save Search" button to below all the filter and sort options since that feels like the natural workflow to me. Maybe give "Save Search," "Results per page," and "Sorted by" some formatting that makes them stand out more as clickable, and make the text the same size across all clickable buttons. Most of all, I'd like the Vega Guide buttons to be easier to move and customize. (I know there's an area for Vega Guide ideas but it doesn't seem very active.)
So I'm not sure if these count as an idea for you exactly, but if others have suggestions or agree, I hope they will comment.

Hi Kathryn,
What you're seeing is actually a bug we're fixing in the next code push where the search icon is not displaying. We had some icon issues that needed to be fixed and if the icon were in place there would be a magnifying glass next to the save search text on this screen.
Do you have other issues you want to keep this idea open for?
Best Regards,
Samantha Cunning.
