Whether you think it's constructive or not, Kangaroo is right that the more we want undone, the closer we are to just having the old version back... so it almost would defeat the purpose of having the update. I'm leaning towards Kangaroo's point of view: The search bar is now a search bar! Since I can't type faster than about 40 WPM most of the time, I don't have a problem with waiting for the suggestion drop-down. Which might I add works as a "GO" search for all namespaces. (Except anything to do with message wall strangely enough.) :)
