 * "Having the Multimedia, Advanced Search, and other options at the bottom of the search page wasn’t the easiest to find, so we’ve made them clear and useful at the top of the page"

I love this change, thanks! Using those options just became 10 times easier.

But, I'm confused as to what the Advanced tab is doing / supposed to do. When I uncheck all of the boxes and search for "time" (tested this logged out just to make sure that any preferences or user scripts weren't interfering), intuitively I would expect to get no search results because I'm not searching any namespaces -- and maybe a warning saying "Hey, you're not seeing any search results because you didn't specify any namespaces" -- yet I do in fact get search results for "time" from various namespaces. So searching from the advanced tab doesn't seem to be properly using the namespaces I specify.
