Description
As can be seen in the screenshot below, social media icons seem to be included on "/ebooks/search/" pages (see where my mouse is and below). However this only happens when the selected sorting option is "by release date". If one selects another sorting option these social media icons disappear. Try it here: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/search/?sort_order=release_date
In my opinion this is not an ideal place for them. For one it's a bit odd/surprising that these icons suddenly appear or disappear when sorting the same page in a different way. And also, in terms of positioning they distract from the sorting options drop-down, which to me seems a more important part of the user experience (this is even worse on mobile where they take vertical space between then drop down and the user being able to see actual books ).
my suggestion would be to take them out of that place and think where else to put them that might be more appropriate. We already have them at the bottom of the homepage if I recall. Maybe that's enough. Not 100% sure yet ...
Note: the pages on which this happens are NOT the "Main Category" or "Reading List" pages. Only the one's that have the url patter "/ebooks/search/...". Languages pages, LoCC pages and Quick Search pages seem to be the main cases.
