?What basic shapes are used to create a search icon in Figma

The search icon is typically built using an Ellipse for the magnifying glass and a Line or Rectangle for the handle. These are aligned and combined to create the classic search symbol.

?How can you ensure the search icon looks balanced and scalable in Figma

Use Figma’s alignment tools, maintain consistent stroke width, and design within a grid or frame. This ensures the icon is visually balanced and scales well across different screen sizes and resolutions.
