Make the search bar on the start page fully wide on small screens

Lets the search bar on the start page grow on the whole width if the screen is not wider than 48em

Summary

Magnifying glass icon instead of text on the search submit button to improve the UX and avoid wasting space, especially on small screens
Increase the width of the search bar to the whole width on small screens
Update Vite configuration, so that also older browsers (all since ES2020) are supported (if this would not have been changed, Vite would compress CSS Media Queries to a shorter format which, however, is not supported by older browsers like Safari on iOS 15.8.8)

Related issues

Closes: #63

I did that intentionally because the icon instead of the text is important for search bar width and is therefore thematically related. If these two things would be developed separately and independently, the actual search bar width (where the input field is) would be only about the half of the screen on average cell phones.
