About the Code
Using SCSS and HTML, we have created an elegant and user-friendly search icon with an accompanying input box line. This search icon is not just static but animated to provide a dynamic and engaging experience. The SCSS syntax allows for easy customization of the design, making it possible to create a unique look that reflects the style and brand of the website.
The HTML provides the necessary structure and functionality, allowing the search icon and accompanying input box to be easily integrated into any website. With the help of SCSS and HTML, you can create a visually appealing, interactive search icon that your users will love.

To hide the placeholder before focusing (text box without any values), I used the :placeholder pseudo-element.
