Describe the bug
Tribler switches to the "search results" page with a single click on the Search Bar.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open Tribler
2. Search for something (eg "Ubuntu")
3. Go to the "Discovered" page
4. Click on the search bar

Expected behavior
My expectation is that my current page should not change. But it changes to the "Search results" page.

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: macOS Monterey
• Tribler's version 7.11

This was an intentional change so we could remove the 'search results' from the left menu. The inspiration from this came from a previous iteration in the Spotify UI where they also used this approach.

@drew2a do you think it's too intuitive? If so, we could consider placing back the 'search results' button in the left menu.

Hmm... I have never seen this behavior before, although I use Spotify from time to time.

But I'm ok with it if it is a "common practice".

Well, it actually seems that Spotify changed this recently. They now have a 'search' button in their left menu, and clicking on the search bar does not bring me back to the results anymore. 😁

Yep, they changed it recently. But they removed the search bar from the top too. Do we want to do the same change?
