If we go for something like 2. I think the magnifying glass could be just a little larger; as for 3. it can work as well but the magnifying glass needs to be a little stronger (perhaps slightly larger and/or thicker stroke and/or moved a little up). Thanks for making the variants, I can take it off my todo list :)
