The Advanced Search page's search boxes now automatically resize to always show the full length of the search string entered. And users can now add up to 12 search boxes by clicking “Add row” and delete any additional rows back down to the default of 3, by clicking “Delete row.” There's also a new "Clear all" button which clears all search boxes at once.
We have added a "Search within" feature to the topic browse category pages allowing users to search for specific topics. We have also added logic to only show the Alpha Browse (A-Z) buttons when there are 100 or more topics on a given category page, and to force the "List view" when there are 100 or more topics on a given category page.

The results page now lists the selected search mode under “All Filters.” The search mode can be changed on the Advanced Search under “Search Options”. It also displays any selected Search Expanders. For more convenient refinement, a link back to “Advanced Search” is now directly available in the “All Filters” panel.
