So curious why they did that... I agree that somehow on FB they didn’t place the search button next to the input field, and FB is pretty good at UI design. So curious why they did that…

ANother issue with your current search box: The user has to scroll down to find it! I think the search input field should always be at the top of the page, where the user will surely find it. Maybe put it just above the feeds section? Very nice guide btw, in addition to this: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/12/04/designing-the-holy-search-box-examples-and-best-practices/ and Nielsen's guide, we probably have all the information we'll ever need on the matter ;) Greetings.

I might do some changes although you were able to: - find the search box - notice that it was a search box - see the GO button - and notice what that button was for. I do really appreciate your comment. Thanks, Tim, for your comment. I might do some changes although you were able to:

I have used the site for more than a year and still try to enter my search temr in the wrong box.
