Comment (by westonruter):

 IMO, it feels a bit strange that there is this persistent search bar
 appearing in the admin bar, but when you click it, it opens //another//
 search bar in a modal. Contrast this with the search 🔍 icon that appears
 in the admin bar on the //frontend//. Clicking that search (🔍) icon
 causes a search bar to expand into view out from the icon. The command
 palette mocked here appears similar to this except that it is pre-
 expanded, but it behaves differently. To me it seems like the 🔍 from the
 frontend could possibly be implemented in the admin as the command palette
 (and that eventually 🔍 on the frontend could also open the command
 palette).

 In this way, in the admin when you click on 🔍 it could cause the modal to
 pop-over instead of expanding the search input field.

 In the admin (and on the frontend) perhaps instead of "🔍" the shortcut
 key ("⌘K") could be displayed instead.
