Search bar: weird to use

What

Hi everyone,

When searching for an item using the search feature of the app, I find the general behavior of this screen really strange.
On top of the screen, we have a search field and below is our history.

When I type something in the search bar, nothing happens, as we have to manually enter the "Search" key on the keyboard.
My initial guess was that this search was filtering the history.

Here are a few ideas to improve this screen:

• Replace the search icon on a history item, with a history icon
• Add a "real" search button to differentiate the history
• Maybe add a text "History" between the search field and history, to let the user understands that they are 2 entities

@M123-dev I think we can change search icon to history icon and also a history text between search bar and history list so that will look more better

Honestly, I am not a big fan of this, after all it's still a search. Also we'll have autocomplete search in the near future

But for now, I think the history icon would be better, for now, to distinguish between search and history.

Okay lets change it in the list, but I would leave it in the appBar :D
