Instead of using an input group, I'd recommend setting the search icon as a background-image on the input itself and set it to display on the left and add some left-padding so the text input appears to begin to the left of the search icon.

<style>
  .form-control-search {
    max-width: 300px;
    background-color: transparent !important;
    background-image: url(https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap-icons@1.11.3/icons/search.svg);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: 9px;
    padding-left: 34px;
  }
</style>

<div class="mx-auto col-11 mt-5">
  <input class="form-control form-control-search" type="search" placeholder="Search docs">
</div>
