What Vignesh said. Good lord, this is unusable. Assuming the mostly broken
search even finds something that sounds plausible, you click through and if
it's not right, your only option is to go back and try again. And you don't
even get back to where you were when you do so!

What is wrong with people who go to all this trouble to design interfaces
that are broken? And how does anyone sign off on such an "improvement"??
