Hi Gerard,

I now have to move my mouse cursor all the way to the bottom of the window to click the "<Back to search" button instead of staing at the top and clicking in the "search text" box.
We anticipated this problem, and there are two solutions already in the beta. 1) You can also click the 'Search' tab at the top to immediately return to searching. 2) After a normal search is performed, you can immediately start typing to do another search.

If you were to move the filters to either a separate window or a slide-out drawer that could be kept hidden for those who don't use the feature, it would go a long way toward enhancing usability and allowing the search features to be moved to a much more space efficient layout.
We also anticipated that some people may not like the filters. You can turn them off at any time by choosing View -> Show/Hide -> Search, and unchecking the filters option.

We'll likely take another look at the whole layout for another release, but for now we're going to stick with this.
