Where is the search button on the Lemmy Android app?

“Hi, I come from Reddit and I am new to this world. After trying it for a while, I don’t understand why there is not a Search button here? I know the icon at the bottom, which you can use to search for communities, but the icon is a bit difficult to realize. Also I can’t still find how to search for contents on Lemmy.

This button?

Whoops I didn't crop this but it's at the bottom.
- What is your client? I use the official one. It looks like this:
  
  They're using Jerboa on Android in dark mode... What "official" client are you talking about?
I don't tjink you can do that yet from jerboa, but you can from the web version
What kind of "contents" do you mean?
- I mean searching for threads by keywords. For example "lemmy search button" then I get this thread.
  
  So, this isn't exactly a "button" like you were hoping for but maybe try this site and bookmark it if you like it and find it meets those needs for now...

- Yes, this does not exist in the app, ..yet..
