Most of your new search engine would have been a nice addition to the old search. However replacing the old search with the new search has eliminated 90% of my search methods. I especially miss being able to do searches without mileage limits. Also, I would like to see the ability to do a search by state that gives me all of the newest caches regardless of location or distance from my chosen/home location.
The display format for the new search is also very annoying. The original table display was more informative and the number of caches displayed on multiple pages was also better. Scrolling is not more efficient than clicking from page to page. Not having the ability to select a more than one cache for download is also a negative. Many times I am only looking for the newest hides and want to load them all simultaneously. Very useful for FTF runs. Loading each cache one at a time is too clumsy when trying to get out the door. Running a pocket query can result in a longer wait.
I guess I will have to create a file of alternate home locations to load when I wish to do a state search without limits and then just do my searches using the nearest to home search option, until you mess that up as well.
