Users do not use the search bar. Users only scroll until users leave.

We added a search bar right at the top of our apps directory. When reviewing user session recordings we found that 80 percent of users will endlessly scroll through disorganized lists rather than type a single word into the search box. Once the emphasis, on search was removed and simple clickable category tags were added engagement immediately went up.

Do your users actually use the search functions you build?
