> Search Field - The complaint is that it covers some of the UI and you have to close it to use the page? Sooo... How does a massive search dialog work better? I've actually found very few sites that are rendered useless by that search field, but almost all are rendered useless by the giant box that all other browsers use.
I'm having trouble figuring out what you're talking about here. "All other browsers"? Safari and Firefox did away with the old big and centered find-in-page dialog box; they both use a find bar. I just downloaded Opera and checked it, too. It also uses a bar.
Regarding "rendered useless [in]… all other browsers", neither Opera nor Firefox obscure any part of the page with their find bars. Safari temporarily obscures the part of the page that exists in the space where the find bar appears, but still lets you scroll up to reveal that part if you really need to.
I realize people form an emotional attachment to their software of choice and get defensive, but ease up. This is baseless stuff you're speaking here.
