Docusaurus v2 - Search bar does not show up in Navbar

Question

Default Search bar does not show up in the header nav on a new site built using Docusaurus V2

but /search shows the search page:

Steps I followed:

1. Created a new site using command npx @docusaurus/init@latest init mysite classic.
2. Per documentation, classic should include Search https://docusaurus.io/docs/api/themes/@docusaurus/theme-search-algolia ?
3. Added this to docusaurus.config.js

   themeConfig: {
    navbar: {
     items: [
       {
         type: 'search',
         position: 'right',
       },
    ...
    ...
   

The documentation here https://docusaurus.io/docs/search does not mention clearly how to the default search bar shows up. What am I missing?
