If you see a broken search style, something like on the above screenshot (weird input size, missing colors etc..), then please follow the steps below.

### Clear all layers of cache first

The most likely cause is the cache. The server might be loading outdated files. Make sure to clear the **page, browser, CDN, minify, asset, object and cloudflare** caches.

Also reload your browser by hitting **CTRL + SHIFT + R** or **CTRL + SHIFT + F5** a couple of times.

### Swap the CSS loading method

If clearing the cache does not work, then under the `Compatibility Options -> CSS & JS loading` subpanel, please change the CSS loading method to **File** instead of the default Optimized.

After making the change, clear all layers of cache, as suggested in the previous point.
