@leonp i found it immediately but only because i’m familiar with thetvdb.com, which used to have a similarly unintuitive/invisible field (recently fixed)

@richText no prize, I'm afraid :-) Yes, I was really struck by how this looked like an underlined heading above a grid of images. I did figure it out, which was satisfying because it felt like solving a puzzle. Perhaps it user-tested ok 🤷♀️

@leonp Nope! ?

@Miraz Took me a while, and I was doing a quick overview of the page. Where it says Search for courses in a large, underlined, bold font sitting above a grid of images. That's actually a search box and not a heading 🤷♀️

@leonp Weird! Thanks for the explanation.

@leonp If you see a tooltip, they blew it.

@SimonWoods Ha! I missed that. Double bad luck if you're on a touchscreen device.

@leonp Who even uses though, like two or three people right.
