Hi,
I was just pointed to this thread. Our whole chair at the university misses the old quick search box :-) While the new search bar is good for certain situations, we are using a very compact gui style due to some lower resolution PCs and Laptops, so the space wasting with new quick search bar is a very bad thing for us (even if we disable the tab bar as the body window still shrinks the moment the quick search bar pops up).

While I agree that the new search bar has more functionality, I think that (from googling on this issue and reading many other threads) many people would just be happy with the old quick search just as it was, as and additional field that can be moved into any toolbar.

Especially the dropdown selection was sth. we really appreciated. Dropdowns always save space over fixed buttons.

The filter as shown in the screenshot in #44 would be perfect, as it also reflects the new idea of combining selectable filters in any way (which, I admit, was limited to predefined selections in TB 2).
