Strange outlook you have there. The first time I encountered the combined search/location field, I though to myself: Neat. Now I don't have to make a selection depending on what I want to do.

I have yet to encounter a situation where the combined search/location field has caused me one bit of trouble. I guess I just have better things to do than complain about minuscule / minor changes. It just works, and that's all I need to get what I want done. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google.
