✅ Bug Fix: Replaced the use of Java Reflection with a safe, direct method call.
This resolves a critical issue where the search bar failed to initialize due to internal field access problems.
The search bar is now properly displayed and repositioned alongside the other configuration buttons,
resulting in a cleaner and more intuitive user interface layout.
