You can find multiple people who would describe anything as broken. I'm several dozen comments into that thread and I still haven't found a single person even attempting to explain why the old functionality is needed beyond "I don't like using my `?` and `Ctrl-K` keys", which Mozilla absolutely should not have dignified with as much time as they gave it.
The person arguing that the entire search box should just be removed if it isn't actually any new functionality has a point, but that's somewhat tangential to the "bug" they're describing.
- arp242 5y agoPeople have been using this for years; they're used to it, it's in their muscle memory. People really don't like it if stuff like that suddenly changes. I think that's reasonable and normal. Whether using ^K or ? is better or worse is entirely besides the point.

It's a problem that solves itself extremely quickly if you just learn to accept it. It's mildly annoying for a few days and that's it. Sure, let's not go breaking muscle memory willy-nilly just for the sake of it, but you can also go too far in the other direction: https://xkcd.com/1172/ https://xkcd.com/1172/ In this case there's no downside at all beyond "I hate change", and opening a bug report is way more effort than just getting used to that.
