One thing I request you change back is the SEARCH button. Please make it ready to accept information like before.
Now, entering anything is a two-click process. It sounds like a small thing, but it isn't.
The open and ready search box was a beautiful thing.
I agree with this 100%!
On a desktop, clicking the search icon places focus into the search box immediately so no second click is necessary. Simply start typing.
@Joel - Yes, however on Mobile it's become a multi-step process.
