Description

We should make a couple of small improvements to the search bar for topics in the stream topic view:

  1. Change the placeholder text to "Search topics" for clarity.
  2. Bump up the contrast on the placeholder text, which is quite difficult to see right now

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the search bar component in the stream topic view. Modify the placeholder text to 'Search topics' and increase the contrast of the placeholder text by adjusting styles or theme variables. Test on both Android and iOS.
