I'd be interested to read other opinions, but from a usability standpoint, there are now three magnifying glass icons on the page without much else to distinguish them. Might there be another icon we could use in the chat window? Can the top menu search icon be removed? Also, I think the bounding box of the icon next to the chat window should be the same size as the chat window's bounding box, which might be more visually appealing.
