I don't understand a lot of the UX decisions behind the new search bar: - Requires more clicks and keyboard strokes now to do the same things - Trending search suggestions cannot be disabled - But after disabling search suggestions entirely (because I don't want to see trending suggestions), I still see recents suggested when I first select the search field... but only then, and not as I type? - Hitting backspace one too many times reverts the search bar to my default search engine
The old search bar was awkward, but this one feels worse. Waaay overdesigned. Is there anything I can do about any of these issues? Should I expect any updates to search bar functionality in the near future?
Bonus complaint: WTF is up with the numbered list/bullet list situation on this form, holy moly. Had to just use dashes because those features are so unusable.
