The issue is split from {T271874}.
When Special:MediaSearch page loads (re-loads), the search icon and the clear button (the 'x' button) load after the grid images finished loading.
Use cases
- a user re-loads the page
- a user pastes the link

**Note:**
- When a new search is submitted, the icons are visible to users all the time.
- **Special:MediaSearch** takes some time to load the images and all that time the search icon is not visible.
- The search icon on **Special:Search** page is flashing during the page reload. Since Special:Search page loads faster than Special:MediaSearch,so users more likely do not notice it.
- **Special:Search** does not display `x` icon while the results are being loaded.
The solution here is just for this one icon in the search bar because it's so prominent, not a general solution for all other icons that we use.
