Title

Icons in the Search Box drop-down are too small.

Problem

The icons in the Search Box drop-down are very small, even smaller than the
Toolbar icons. I do not have the best vision and on bad days the poor
resolution on these icons makes them difficult to identify. Someone with vision
impairment may have much greater difficulty. Also, when there are multiple
icons from the same domain it gets confusing. For example I have two virtually
identical icons for the Debian website. One is for “Debian packages” and
the other is for “Debian website (en).”

Action Taken

On bad days I get closer to the screen to identify the icons. In the case of
identical icons I do a mouseover to see the name of the icon displayed in the
“Search for … with:” bar of the drop-down menu.

Current Behavior

Typing in the Search Box activates the drop-down menu which displays a
combination of text messages and icons. The icons are displayed in a grid
layout without any text to identify them.

Suggested Behavior

Short Term: Add a text identifier and make the icons larger and easier to make
out. I consider the add-on Google App Launcher by Mahesh Asolkar to be a good
example of icons well done.

Long Term: Perhaps it is time to add a Search Box tab to the Preferences page
where the user can customize various behaviors of the Search Bar. For example,
icon display or list display. Same tab or a new tab. etc.
