(a github standard for inviting new contributors) - Welcome! ♥
⚬ PROBLEM: I'm always frustated when I search for a youtube video and I try to filter the video using differerent tags (ie Shorts, Videos, Unwatched, watched, etc) and filters tab but I cant do it because of header hovering(yes I have turned that on but it foreshadows the filters tab)
⚬ SOLUTION: The whole search-style-scope can be pushed a bit downward when the search bar is activated in case. It can be done by making the scope dynamic if possible.
At present, it looks like this when I move my cursor to click on the tags and filters tab:
I wish it looked like this when I click on the tags and filters tab:

⚬ ALTERNATIVES: Though I cant seem to do it using the cursor, I can use my keyboard to access the tags and filters tab (by pressing the Tab key)
⚬ RELEVANCE / SCOPE: I think it will be helpful for anyone who likes productivity as well as minimalism. It would enhance the user's experience when using the permanent Hover mode for the search bar on youtube.com
⚬ "SIDE EFFECTS": It should not have any side effects as far as I can see.
⚬ CONTEXT: Many users, especially those who frequently filter search results, face frustration due to the obstructed filters tab. This issue affects usability and efficiency, particularly for those relying on YouTube for research, education, or content discovery. By making the search-style-scope dynamic, the experience becomes more intuitive and seamless.
