 On the theme directory, the WordPress admin bar is shown (regardless of
 whether the user is logged-in). This admin bar contains a search icon in
 the top corner, which submits to the URL
 https://wordpress.org/themes/?s={searchterm}

 However, the search form in the theme directory theme itself submits to
 https://wordpress.org/themes/search/{searchterm}/

 The URL structure https://wordpress.org/themes/search/{searchterm}/
 returns correctly filtered search results, where as
 https://wordpress.org/themes/?s={searchterm} always returns the featured
 themes shown on the theme directory homepage.

 Possible solutions:

  - Redirect the ?s= structure to the /search/ structure.
  - Hide the search icon from the adminbar on the theme directory
  - Make the ?s= strucutre return the correct results.
