Quite a few claim to miss the SEARCH, but it has become clear lately that few actually use it and of those few most are not able to FIND previously posted threads. It’s useless and takes up space. Like an old retired guy.

HUH? I use FR's SEARCH constantly... that's how I find all kinds of threads, and search on FReepers' posts. Sometimes I know I can find tough-to-find threads only by searching certain FReepers' posts. The search box is far from "useless".

Unfortunately I guess we have to re-learn to use this "new and improved" search box that doesn't do as much as the old one...

When you arrive at the second stage you find the old, familiar search is there just as it was.
