F-Droid Apps List Does Not Have Search Magnifying Glass

I went to F-Droid.org on my backup phone (Samsung galaxy J2), selected APPS from the header near the top of the screen and it lists categories (e.g. "Connectivity""Development" et al). But there isn't a magnifying glass to let me do a search for anything. On my regular phone (LG K20) I get a list, in a slightly different format, with the magnifying glass. And also without that header.

Your screenshot looks a good deal different from the one I attached to my prior post but nevertheless I found and selected Download F-Droid , I couldn't find it because My Files wasn't displayed on the APPS screen. Had to do a search for My Files and then put it on the Home Screen. Now I have F-Droid installed.

My screenshot looks different because I use the link

https://www.f-droid.org/

whereas you were using the link

https://www.f-droid.org/en/packages/

See?

Not that it matters, because now you have the app.
