Border doesn't display in CSS, why? - html

Question

I tried to add a border to the input but the border doesn't display. I don't know what the problem could be. Does anyone see something that I don't?
HTML:
<div class="word">
<div class="search">
<span class="text">Search</span>
<input type="text" placeholder="Enter word to search">
<button><i class="fas fa-search"></i></button>
</div>
</div>
And CSS:
.word .search input{
position: absolute;
height: 42px;
width: calc(100% - 50px);
font-size: 16px;
padding: 0 13px;
border: 1px solid #e6e6e6 !important;
outline: none;
border-radius: 5px 0 0 5px;
opacity: 0;
pointer-events: none;
transition: all 0.2s ease;
}

Answer 1

just remove the opacity or make it 1
<div class="word">
<div class="search">
<span class="text">Search</span>
<input type="text" placeholder="Enter word to search">
<button><i class="fas fa-search"></i></button>
</div>
</div>
<style>
.word .search input{
position: absolute;
height: 42px;
width: calc(100% - 50px);
font-size: 16px;
padding: 0 13px;
border: 1px solid #e6e6e6 !important;
outline: none;
border-radius: 5px 0 0 5px;
/*opacity: 0;*/
pointer-events: none;
transition: all 0.2s ease;
}
</style>

Answer 2

I am not sure I understand precisely what you are trying to do but as stated in previous answers if you set the opacity to 0 the entire input including the border will be transparent/not visible. The search bar doesn't seem to do much in the code you provided as the pointer-events: none; results in the search bar being impossible to select.
So if you want a search bar with a border but with a transparent background, and it being clickable I would suggest the following:
.word{
background: lightgrey;
}
.search input{
border: 2px solid #000;
border-radius: 5px 0 0 5px;
background: transparent;
}
<div class="word">
<div class="search">
<span class="text">Search</span>
<input type="text" placeholder="Enter word to search">
<button><i class="fas fa-search"></i>button</button>
</div>
</div>
