Just one additional comment... seeing it visually like that (yes, I know its always better), the two searchboxes side by side was definitely weird looking, so, in response to the comments about bringing back the combined searchbox, why not just add a 5th item in the drop-down list (at the top, with a line sep between it and the others) called 'Global (All Accounts/Folders' that would do the same thing as the 'All Messages' did with the old one? I'm fine with this if it is doable - and most importantly *only* if it can be done without bringing back the old bugs that went with it.

This way you could remove the regular GLODA searchbox, but still perform one from the Quickfilter searchbox.

But, like I said, combining them is entirely optional to me... otherwise, I would just place them in separate locations - probably one on one end and one on the other...
