Hey all,
Thanks to Chad and Bartosz, https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/94276/ has been merged, and with the next MediaWiki core releases you should see two things:
1. the input box on the search page will be larger 2. the button will be a larger, blue button similar to the style seen on login, create account, and some other forms
You can see a screenshot of what this looks like at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/File:Search-UI-minor-tweak.png or by searching on Beta Labs (http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/)
Progress looks and feels so good.

I don't want to sound discouraging, but is this really worth a post to a mailing list? I mean, I'm all for updating the UI and thanks for doing this, but this change is so small...

I mostly posted because decent design updates in MediaWiki core are rare, and I think this is a good example of how we could easily be using mediawiki.ui more widely.
If you don't like the volume on the Design list you can always unsubscribe.

Is design of Special:Search discussed anywhere? I'd like to share some on the field usability study I've conducted using 48 librarians as guinea pigs. ;-)
