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. This will save
me time. And it has indeed saved me time. So I'm happy with it.

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.
