Regarding the search screen: There is a feature request on the roadmap to make double tapping search on the bottom bar open the search screen with search focused.
This could solve this issue but it's not perfect since the gesture is random and doesn't really follow any existing UX design. By the way the reason why search looks the way it does is because I received feedback that some people wanted to be able to view their communities with a single tap of a button and when not on the home screen. The search screen has turned into a general hub of random lists as a result of that request.
For being able to search from a post, there isn't technically anything preventing this from being supported in the app. I just think it's a not something the average user would use. As a solution I can add a setting that shows the bottom bar even on the post screen. I'll add this to the roadmap but let me know if you don't like this idea.
The option for a persistent bottom bar would be fine, yeah! An option to immediately show the keyboard or not when calling the search engine might be nice as well and would solve this issue without disgruntling the users you reference.
Sure i can add that to the roadmap.
