Disable auto hide of search bar in Safari on iPadOS

Hi!


When using Safari on iPad the search bar always is hiding itself at the top when I scroll down into a webpage. However, I would like it to be always visible. Is there a way to turn off auto hide?


I know that I can scroll up a bit or tap the bar to get it back immediately but I would prefer it not to hide at all.

iPad Air (5th generation)

This is a bit of a bummer. It should be possible to disable the auto-hide for people who want to see it all the time. It takes a lot of time, especially when you are working in „Desktopmode“ with an external screen and multiple apps and StageManager. Hope iPadOS 17 will get this feature.

While this may be the case for most users, there seems to be a way developers can trigger it on their website.


If you visit m3.material.io (Google's design guidelines website), the address bar is always in the "open" state.


I'm curious why this wouldn't be available to all users.
