[dash] [design] When searching in a scope, loading feedback is hidden by the keyboard

FWIW we decided against the "just under the divider" activity indicator because it's not a "static" element on screen, it moves up and down frequently as you scroll inside scopes, swipe between scopes, go to overview and back etc.

The easiest solution I think could be to keep the indicator above the keyboard when it's on screen.

A few people I talked to did not notice the loading bar at the bottom until
I pointed it to them.

i bet they'd notice the loader bar just above the keyboard (more so than at the bottom when you first focus onto a scope page)

Yes but the keyboard is not present by default nor at all times.
