<sigh> I'm used to typing the term for a page I know is there and hitting "search" (instead of "go") because I want the results of a search rather than being take to the page (e.g. when searching for people not listed on a disambiguation page, though they should be). How do I do that now? Ah. I click the small microscope icon and type in the full search page instead. :-) Learning to find your way around a new interface is half the battle.
