 Let's move the milestone back to 7.0 and see if we can ship this feature
 in 7.0.

 > Rendering the command palette as a wide search bar will definitely cause
 existing admin bar items to overflow, as they often do already. So we'll
 need to prioritize #28983 as well. As I

 > > Related to adding the command palette to the admin bar discussed just
 now in the [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2026/02/18/wordpress-7-0
 -product-review-meeting-with-matt/ product review meeting], there is this
 ticket #28983 to fix issues with too many items in the admin bar getting
 reflowed onto another line. Assuming we'll want to force the command
 palette to always be displayed in a prime position, this will result in
 existing items increasingly pushed out of view. If we don't forcibly
 remove them, then they will wrap. There seems to need to be a way to have
 an overflow mechanism (e.g. Priority+) where items that don't fit get
 displayed in a dropdown.

 We need to consider how to address this issue.

 Furthermore, it's not easy to "visually" center the search bar, as various
 elements can be injected into the admin bar by consumers.
