If it wasn't for the fact they give the best search results I would have dumped Google long ago due to their idiotic "Improvements"
+1
The same for some 'improvements" in FF, e.g. hiding email the page link.
Could it be that changes are done for the sake of changing things, not necessarily improving.

Today FF updated and since the Google search options on the left are gone. Can someone tell me how to search within NZ only?
Thanks

As I keep saying everything is broken, I blame it on the yearly flu injection, why the world is going mad, I have never had it (flu injection).

go here www.google.co.nz and you will see 'Pages from New Zealand' it's got me beat with all that white space why they can not also have

Pages from Australia
Pages from USA
Pages from UK
Pages from ....

In which case it would be better to have a drop down menu, and you could select any country.

With the new top menu, one must click "Search Tools" then "The Web" and finally "Pages from New Zealand"

That's 2 extra clicks - How on earth do they think that is in any way more convenient?


Also, it wastes vertical space rather than horizontal space, and since apparently everyone has a widescreen monitor now, why are they not wasting more horizontal space instead?

You cannot tell me it makes sense.

I would hope most people have Adblock and so most of the page is white!:D
