  Current (?) one for comparison (from Kubuntu 18.04 since the one from Neon Unstable crashes for me)

  I feel like there was a lot of thought put into the current design of the dashboard and the search field in particular:
  
  - It does fit the style of having different logical parts of the dashboard purely divided by white space (and not by borders, lines).
  - It makes very clear that typing will trigger the search while in your screenshot it looks like the search field doesn't have focus and typing might not trigger the search.
  - In addition the size of the elements of the dashboard should loosely correspond to their importance.  The search is arguably the most important feature of the dashboard. The way you changed it it seems a bit too minor to me.
  
  I agree that the search as it currently is is inconsistent with how we display search fields anywhere else but it does fit with the rest of the dashboard. The overall style of the dashboard is pretty unique imo (for better or worse).
  
  Other than that +1 for the color change. I'm using Breeze and the dashboard with its white text on dark background always looked out of place to me.
  I agree that a blurred background would most likely look very nice.
