Search: clicking on search panel should go to the top of the page?

[dpalomino]

This is a really low prio issue, just in case it could improve usability.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Execute a search query resulting in many results
2. Going to the end of the query list (where the pagination is)
3. Click on search icon on the left panel.

Current behaviour:

Nothing happens

Expected behaviour:

I think if the user would be redirected to the top of the page (where the search box is), usability would be better.

What do you think @clash99?

@dpalomino sounds good - perhaps this would be first-contribution friendly?

Great idea. Adding label :-)

@dpalomino I was looking at bug status. Right now I don't find any search button. Do you want to create a search button and link to search at the top.

Hi,
I am new here. As a beginner, I would love to solve this bug. Please, guide me how to get started with project setup.

@jinankjain This is referring to the button in the left-hand side menu:

@Sarthak30 Please have a look at the repository's README, it contains instructions how to set up the development environment

@oliverroick Do we have to add search button that remains on left hand side when user scroll down project lists and when user clicks it ,it should redirect it to top search bar?

[oliverroick]

@dvlshah This applies only to the search in a project. I.e. when you click search (see the screenshot above), you enter a term, you are being redirected to the page with all results, you scroll down and when you click the search button again you will stay on that page but the page jumps back to the top where you can enter a new search.
