[FEATURE REQUEST] Search bar and Filter enhancements

[SaniaCorreia]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes. The current product filtering is limited — it allows filtering by price range but lacks basic sort options like "Low to High" or "High to Low." Additionally, the search bar is hidden behind a magnifying glass icon, which reduces discoverability for users trying to search quickly.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add sorting options such as Price: Low to High, Price: High to Low, Newest, or Popularity.

Make the search bar always visible or more intuitive to access without an extra click.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Keeping the current minimal filter and hidden search layout, but this impacts user experience and usability.

Using third-party UI plugins, but a native solution would be more consistent with the current design.

Additional context
I'd like to work on improving both the filtering functionality and the visibility of the search bar to enhance overall usability.
