User blog comment:Dopp/Updates to How We Search/@comment-4674838-20120427214853

I'm changing my opinion now to leaning more towards disliking the change -- reason being that I just spent an hour navigating around Wikia on Internet Explorer on a school computer. Chrome is fast, and the extra time for the Special:Search pageload and having to click 1 extra link is acceptable to me while browsing (with the understanding that as a tradeoff, I'm supposed to get more results to choose from). But Internet Explorer is a slow browser, and that extra pageload is a huge waste of time. Also, the new search renders redirects pointless, which, like many others, I think is not a step in the right direction.
