When I go to a you tube channel home page and the search function is not visible, I click the ">" to show the search icon. When I click on the search icon all that happens is the menu bar jumps back as if I pressed the "<" icon. Works fine if the search icon is initially visable in the menu.
Works correctly using Firefox.

Hi jpgadbois,
Here are some things you can check if you're having an issue with a page loading in Safari:
"Reload the page
To reload a page, choose View > Reload Page, or press Command-R. If you can't reload, make sure that you're connected to the internet.
If you still can't reload:
Check Safari extensions
If you installed any Safari extensions, make sure that they are up to date.
You can also try turning extensions off. From the menu bar in Safari, choose Safari > Settings (or Preferences). Click Extensions, then deselect the checkbox for each extension to turn it off. Learn more about Safari extensions.
Check Safari settings
The webpage might not be compatible with one or more browser settings, which you can turn on or off as needed. From the menu bar in Safari, choose Safari > Settings (or Preferences). Then click Websites, Privacy, or Security to access these settings:

We hope this helps helps.
Take care.
Thank you for the detailed reply.
I guess I didn't express myself well.
The problem is not getting a page to load. The problem is I am unable to click on the the "search" icon (magnifying glass) and have that click enable an input field where I can enter a search term. This only happens when the tool bar has enough items that the "search" icon is not initially visible. I have to click the ">" to see the rest of the toolbar including the "search" icon which is always at the right end of the toolbar. When I click on the "search" icon the toolbar jumps back to the initial position where the "search" icon is no longer visible. It is like playing wack-a-mole.
I will give your suggestions a try but am not hopeful.
Thanks again
