Generally I think search Everywhere is a good default

However, what I'd really like is to be able to use the keyboard (tab, arrow key etc) to be able to easily select different search locations - that would be best of both worlds

(Perhaps there is already an option to do this that I haven't stumbled upon however)

Just off the screen at the bottom of the search box is a spot for filters which shows the recent notebooks so you can switch to them, you can get to these by keying down. I think the plan is to eventually bring more filter to the pop up.

Some good changes, but could do with further improvement. I wish they would add a settings option for the default search behavior when you're in a notebook. My preference would be to have EN generally searching everywhere regardless of current location. I have many notebooks under a couple of stacks and tend to jump between notebooks when searching for notes. After opening EN in home, I am typically working from a notebook. I always have to change the default search behavior ever since they introduced it, so for me it wasn't an improvement to begin with. Having this setting option would save me a mouse click and having no interruption in using just the keyboard.

Thanks for the shortcut to bring up search more quickly!

As far as I know when it rolls out the default will be to search everywhere.

Its way more keyboard friendly.

I'm really pleased to see this - it's such a big improvement.

It also seems to have fixed a couple of problems. The first was that in the old search, the note suggestions that popped up as you typed your query had stopped working. Instead of taking you to the suggested note, they just took you to the notebook.

I was having the same issue with internal note links only taking me to the notebook but with the new search, they also seem to be working again, which is handy because I use them a lot. I did raise a ticket about this.

Yeah I saw the same and the area before was too small to see much information.
