Can't SEARCH videos while watching a video at the same time on YouTube

Just noticed this about 1-2 week ago, late November or early December. 

Anyone else Search function removed from the bottom of the screen? There suppose to be a Search selection when a video is playing on YouTube on the bottom of the screen. Now you have to exist out the video while it's playing to search for a video or the only way to search while the video is playing is use the MIC.

FYI, I do not have a YouTube account. Never did and I never will.

      Yes, I have left them a feedback with a screenshot as well. As I mentioned, I do not have a Youtube account so they're less likely to contact me back. Thank you.
