When choosing dark colours for the 'Header Background Colour', the search bar is difficult to locate. This behaviour was not present in the earlier releases when the search bar always had white background. Hence this is a regression bug.
There is no way to customise the colours on the instance to make the search field more visible. It always takes the header colour as its colour.
Possible Solution
- making the search bar background color customizable would solve this
- alternatively, we could de-link the search bar colour with the top bar colour
Workaround:
Apply following CSS in the announcement banner:
Please test this script to see if it breaks any JIRA UI or functionality.
<style>
#quickSearchInput {
border-radius: 5em;
background: rgba(255,255,255,1);
color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7);
}
#quickSearchInput::-webkit-input-placeholder {
color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7);
}
#quickSearchInput:-moz-placeholder {
/#quickSearchInput FF 4-18 #quickSearchInput/
color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7);
}
#quickSearchInput::-moz-placeholder {
/#quickSearchInput FF 19+ #quickSearchInput/
color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7);
}
#quickSearchInput:-ms-input-placeholder {
/#quickSearchInput IE 10+ #quickSearchInput/
color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7);
}
.aui-header .aui-quicksearch::after{
color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7);
}

[JRACLOUD-38890] customizable background color for the search bar
I am seeing the same issue on 7.1.9, but seeing that the announcement banner is gone in 7.1.9 and replaced with a paid for plugin, can this be done Look and Feel customized css? Thankful for answers.
The header inc the search bar is getting an overhaul via ADG 3 (coming soon) and currently being explored by Confluence in the Simplify work.

added a comment - I agree. The new background color for the quick search box makes it difficult to locate. Even as long time JIRA user, I had a difficult time finding the box. Definitely a poor UI/UX choice.

Our corporate identity layout is dark-blue and the search field is nearly invisible.
Magnifying glass icon is just to indicate that this highlighted area is a search box.
Yes it still need a keyboard action, after text is entered.
Having a button to click, is not possible at this time, with available JIRA's options.
Even in IE "Search" box is not showing "Search" word. However, it is working fine in another browser.
