About the Magnifying Glass black outline icon
A magnifying glass drawn at a 45-degree tilt: a big empty circular lens joined by a short neck to a long rectangular handle that runs to the lower right corner. It reads instantly as search, zoom, inspection and closer examination. Use it in search fields and site headers, as a zoom-in control in map or image viewers, for filter and lookup buttons in dashboards, in research or discovery slides, and on science and detective themed pages.
The lens takes up a little over half the height, so the shape stays legible when scaled down to a 16 or 20 pixel toolbar glyph; the handle is a narrow open bar rather than a solid grip. It pairs with folder, filter, document and question mark icons in the same line set. Keep the tilt consistent with neighbouring icons so search controls line up visually.
This is the black outline version of the magnifying glass icon: even, monoline strokes that stay crisp at small sizes and suit clean, minimal interfaces, wireframes and light backgrounds.
