Search window in Zotero 7 is too small

I just installed Zotero 7 and find no way to elongate the search window. Is there a way to modify this?

You mean the quick search bar or the advanced search window? The latter does expand like any other window.

I mean the quick search window. I have tried and cannot get it to expand.

as it is, the quick search window has room for 10 characters. I try dragging the left side of the box, and it does not grab.

I don't think that expanded in Zotero 6 either, did it? I can see that it'd be nice to have that extensible, but it's pretty clearly designed as a fixed width field (it also doesn't adjust based on panel width) and I'm guessing having individual elements (rather than whole panels) adjustable would be a bit messy.

OK, I'll work with it. But that is the first window that every user goes to. It ought to be easy and convenient to enter and read data.
