Title
Search function

Short, concise description of the idea
Give us back our interest based and username search function.

Full description of the ideaWhile I'm sure many people will like the new text search function, I have no use for it and it just makes navigating LJ (an already difficult enough task for beginners) that much harder. I'd appriciate

Interest search is still available: http://www.livejournal.com/interests.bml

Do most people not see search by "site and username" anymore?

Do I see that only becasue I'm still using XColibur? Add one more advantage to the older site schemes.

The only place I see the "new" search is in the navigation strip. The default comment pages (including this one) still have all the old search methods.

Older site schemes don't get updated with new features, so that's why you still have links to the old search there. The navbar is the same for everyone, regardless of site scheme.

Yeah, I was thinking about adding the interests.bml addy to my Links List...

I hate to say this, because I support progress, but the new search method seems confusing and unhelpful to me.

Thank you for suggesting this! I would love to see it implemented. I think it is so stupid that it was removed from the navigation strip; now it is that much harder to conveniently go to certain journals or do an interest search.

Since I have been using Dystopia I haven't noticed the changes to the site scheme search bar, which is just as ridiculous.
