This PR implements the requested enhancement to increase the search bar height for better usability and visual prominence.

Changes Made

🎯 Core Modifications

• Search bar height: Increased from default to 56px
• Font size: Scaled proportionally to 1.3em for better readability
• Inner input element: Set explicit height to 56px !important to ensure consistency across browsers

🔧 Technical Implementation

• Modified .search-bar__input styles in styles/_main-container.scss
• Added height and font-size properties while preserving existing design elements
• Fine-tuned dropdown positioning (margin-top: -0.2rem) to accommodate the taller input

📐 Layout Considerations

• Minimal impact: Only affects the search input component, no other layout elements changed
• Responsive design: Maintains existing responsive behavior and design consistency
• Cross-browser compatibility: Uses !important for input height to ensure consistent rendering

Before & After

Before:

&__input {
  background: #F1F3F4;
  border-radius: 5rem;
  // ... other styles
}

After:

&__input {
  height: 56px;
  font-size: 1.3em;
  background: #F1F3F4;
  border-radius: 5rem;
  // ... other styles
  
  input {
    height: 56px !important;
    // ... other styles
  }
}

Testing

• ✅ SCSS compilation successful with Dart Sass
• ✅ Generated CSS properly applied to both app/css/ and dist/css/
• ✅ Verified no unintended layout changes in other components
• ✅ Maintained existing hover, focus, and active state behaviors

The search bar now provides a more prominent and accessible input experience while preserving the overall design aesthetic of the application.
