Since there is no way currently to quickly and easily subscribe to a community from the search menu, sharunkumar (not me) added a way to do that in this pull request.

There are 2 poosible designs that are consistent with UI of voyager so I will comment the images of the design below. Upvote the design that you prefer. Please refrain from downvoting.

Also it would be appreciated if the mod (@[email protected] @[email protected]) can pin this post (for a day or two) to ensure that it reaches most members of the community

The number of actions to be taken to subscribe in these cases are way more than the one action you need to take in the solution Sharun has proposed so they would slower and more difficult. This method also quickly informs users as to which community they are subscribed to, which considering the number of duplicate communities is also very useful

Also voyager has set a precedent where you can quickly favourite unfavourite a community from the side tab by clicking on a star toggle/indicator so this design is not a completely new concept and is consistent with what voyager uses currently
