Yes I do... why do you ask?

Actually, I didn't 'confirm' it, I simply said that it was better, but still not what I was after. I wasn't on my computer at the time to test it...

I never came back and added a new comment after actually trying it stating that it is very problematic because CTRL-F is shared with the Find toolbar as well - sorry, this functionality is just way too all over the place to be usable by normal users.

Making the new Quickfilter+Sticky pin available as a separate searchbox that can be placed on any toolbar, and with the new customizable drop-down/select box for the search criteria would totally solve all of these problems, because I already have a perfectly functional auto hide/show menu bar where I put everything else (and which is where I had the old Quickfilter searchbox).
