 Replying to [comment:60 siliconforks]:
 > I just noticed this new feature while running WordPress 7.0-beta5 on a
 desktop machine.  I see that it simply displays "Ctrl+K" in the top bar.
 Isn't that a bit confusing?  I would assume that means that pressing
 Ctrl+K is equivalent to clicking on it, but shouldn't there be some
 indication as to what it actually does?  Does it ... delete the entire
 site?  How is the user supposed to know?

 What about prefixing the 🔍 icon to the keyboard shortcut? This is what
 @sabernhardt had [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/pull/11160#issuecomment-4006532826 in his PR] (although with the
 admin bar item on the far right, which is where the search item is located
 on the frontend). See [attachment:"search-icon-with-keyboard-
 shortcut.png"].
