Anchor to guidelinesGuidelines

The global search bar should appear at the very top of a view, above the header. This is because it searches for things beyond the scope of that page.
The inline search bar should appear at the top of a list, but under the header.
The search bar should be sticky and remain at the top of the page when the merchant scrolls.
When a merchant selects the search bar, the bar enters the focused state.
When entering the focused state, the border turns blue and the search icon changes to a back arrow icon. Selecting the back arrow lets merchants return to the default state.
If it's an inline search bar, entering focused state should also move the search bar to the top of the screen.
When a merchant starts entering a search query, the bar enters the filled state.
Selecting the X deletes the merchant's search query, but keeps them in the focused state so that they can immediately enter a new search query.
