With just about every major new feature, we lose preferences. Having an all or main option when searching is really limiting. Is it being planned to give us the option to pick which default namespaces we search through?

Honestly, the search is really lacking. Having preference not set for "All" means you only get main space pages. Previously, I'd get results in most major namespaces (except the social ones) by default. Now, I have to choose all or 1 or go to a totally new page just to select which NS's I want to search before I search.

Also, I thought I understood that the 'Go' option in preferences would also allow the 'search' option when you 'click' the magnifying glass. Wasn't the idea that we'd be able to have both functionalities either way with the preference set to what the default should be?

Lastly, some searches are still pulling old pages or not listing the entire page name for some reason. This search listed the page "(Group) Incredulous Nuaka" as "Group) Incredulous Nuaka". It dropped the leading "(". And if you look on page 2, it shows a link for a non-existent namespace (Link). It's correct page should be List:Group quests, the new namespace (has been that way for ~2 months now).
