Version 6 Search Dashboard?

I just upgraded to version 6 and I'm disappointed that the search dashboard from version 5 doesn't appear to be available any longer. Am I mistaken or is there a download available to restore the search dashboard?

No, v6 Search is what it is.

However, you should give it a try. I did not like it at first, but after using it for a while I think it is far better than v5. For me I found that v5 search was like a room in a house in a neighborhood, whereas v6 search is like a condo in a complex.

Is there a specific functionality you're missing?
