In the sidebar navigation, the Search icon is misaligned (shifted to the left) compared to the other navigation items (New Chat, Notes, Workspace). The icons for New Chat, Notes, and Workspace are properly aligned, but the Search icon breaks the visual alignment.
Screenshot
The Search (magnifying glass) icon is noticeably shifted to the left compared to the other sidebar icons.
Steps to Reproduce
Open the application
Look at the left sidebar navigation
Compare the alignment of the Search icon with New Chat, Notes, and Workspace icons
Expected Behavior
All sidebar navigation icons should be vertically aligned consistently.
Environment
Open WebUI: Latest version
Browser: Safari / Chrome (macOS)
OS: macOS
Additional Context
This appears to be a CSS padding/margin issue on the Search navigation item. The other three items (New Chat, Notes, Workspace) share consistent left padding, but the Search item has different spacing.
