About the Investigate color outline icon

A round magnifying glass with a thick diagonal handle frames a cogwheel with a circular hub, so the lens appears to be examining the mechanism inside. The pairing reads as inspection, diagnostics, auditing and technical review rather than plain search. It works for system settings and troubleshooting screens, SEO and site audit tools, QA and testing dashboards, maintenance or service apps and research presentations.

The lens circle dominates the upper left while the handle runs to the lower right with a small highlight notch near the grip, giving a balanced diagonal. It belongs beside search, gear, wrench and checklist icons in a tools set. Use it at 24 px or above so the gear teeth stay separate from the lens ring.

This is the colour outline version of the investigate icon: the same line drawing in an accent colour, useful for highlighting a state, a category or a brand tone without adding visual weight.
