No visible response when searching on mobile
After searching from the search box at the top of each page, you are taken to a search results page. This has the search box with the current search term prepopulated, ready to modify and search again, followed by a filter section.
On mobile this fills all of the vertical space on the screen, so entering a new search term and pressing enter results in no change to the page (the results are all further down the page and require scrolling to see).
Could the filters be put behind a drop down like they are on the posts lists pages? If the filter section closes when a search is performed or a filter applied, then the results list including the number of results will be visible, making clear that something has changed. This would also be consistent with the filter section on the posts lists page, which resets the section to hidden/closed on each page reload.
It might also help to make the formatting different for mobile. Currently the search results page is very spread out with lots of whitespace on mobile.

The filters widget is now collapsed on the search-results page, like it is for categories. This restores the status quo for small viewports, but I've just noticed while verifying this fix that the "advanced search" block still takes a lot of room on my phone. Should we do anything about that?
