one thought: I initially missed the fact that I could use filters etc because they show up below the results and not above them

Thanks Gabe! One of the reasons we placed it below is so that once you land in that page, we didn’t want to make it look like you had to configure a bunch of things before you start searching. So moved it below to reduce the perception of complexity

another option might be a chevron below the text input

"More options v"

makes sense that you want to keep it simple, but I think most are used to the query + options being close together for search experiences.

it didn't take me too long to figure it out, just figured I might as well let you know what I thought 😁

I like that idea, but on 2nd thought, I wonder if putting it behind a More options button would make it even easier for people to miss...

This is a UI for administrators/developers, so I am fine with the implementation. What we expose to end users is a different story.
