DockedSearchBar

Common

Component in Material 3 Compose

A search bar represents a floating search field that allows users to enter a keyword or phrase and get relevant information. It can be used as a way to navigate through an app via search queries.

An search bar expands into a search "view" and can be used to display dynamic suggestions or search results.
