Also, after my conversation with Iago, I think he is going to be
removing the optional Vertical menu (that I agree was confusing, but I
never used it), which will mean that last button inside the searchbox
(on  the right side) will be gone.

One other thing that causes confusion for us here in the office is, in
spite of the fact that GLODA is disabled, the Addon still allows the
user to toggle into Global Search mode, which does nothing when GLODA is
disabled. I think he is going to fix it so that when GLODA is disabled,
that button/icon for toggling between Filter and Global Search modes
will not be displayed.

Title:
  Quick Search  Filter should be moveable

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: thunderbird

  Today I updated lucid 3.0.4 TB to 3.1.7 from security.  I never liked
  the new "smart" search feature but relied mostly on filtering on To,
  CC and recipient.  I had put the search field for that on the menu bar
  so no further screen real estate was used on my netbook.  3.1.7 now
  introduces a UI regression in that that search field is used solely
  for the dumb "smart" search that opens a tab to waste even more screen
  space.  To use the search that I care about I have to use the quick
  search bar, more lost screen space.  And when I actually use it it
  opens another bar to filter and by then I can't even see my messages
  any longer.

  Seriously, netbooks are here to stay.  What were the UI devs thinking
  looking at their 28" TFT display all day?
