The Issue

Only a couple days in I noticed that the page title is in the search bar. This is hardly noticeable, unless you know it's there. Especially coupled with the fact that some links in the header are just icons.

Expected behaviour

Page titles should tell the user at a glance or when he's quickly scanning what the page is about and where they are.

Actual behaviour

Instead the user has to actively focus his attention on the search bar. That is, IF he knows that's where the page title is.

I agree! Would love to hear suggestions on this one. Is there a style change that could make the address bar work better? Do we repeat the title in the bar and at the top of the page? I did try this and didn't like it at first.
