Bug Description

Mahara: master

A 'Search' button next to the 'Search' text field in the top right corner of the screen is recommended to improve usability and accessibility. Not all users may be aware that they need to hit the 'Enter' button to perform a search.

This had been a front-end decision when moving to the Bootstrap framework. The search button should actually still only be hidden. So making is visible again should be a quick fix.

Generally, the magnifying glass is used. That should be fine in our case as well.
