How to move the search icon to the mobile header in Prestige theme?

Topic summary

Topic: Moving/adding a Search icon to the mobile header in the Shopify Prestige theme (search currently lives inside the sidebar menu on mobile).

Recent updates and outcomes:

  • One store owner resolved their issue by updating the theme from the theme store; after updating, “the menu shows up again.” They note drawbacks: banners and possibly some apps need reconfiguration after the update.
  • Multiple others report the same need (search icon beside the hamburger or cart) and provide store URLs, passwords, screenshots, and header code snippets. No universal, publicly shared code solution was posted in-thread.

Guidance provided:

  • Helpers consistently request store URLs and sometimes header code and an SVG for the search icon to implement a custom solution.
  • The prevailing approach suggested is custom code customization in the header for mobile view (often moved to private messages).

Artifacts central to the thread:

  • Screenshots highlighting desired icon placement on the mobile header.
  • Header.liquid code snippets shared by users seeking help.

Status:

  • Partially resolved. One confirmed fix via updating the theme; most other cases remain open pending custom code implementations handled privately. Key question (public, copy-paste code to add the icon) remains unanswered in-thread.
