I was wondering if their was a way to switch the find bar bar back to the old way of searching. The way it is now is annoying. When I use find it's usually the same search across multiple tabs. Now I have to open the find in each tab and if I change the find in one tab it doesn't change across the other find bars so I now have to change each individually. Thanks.

If you haven't opened the Find bar yet in a tab (i.e. the Find bar needs to be initialized) then Find should default to the last search terms you entered in the Find bar and F3 should navigate the search results without the need to open the Find bar. You do not see the number of results if you search with the Find bar hidden, you need to open the Find bar to see the actual search terms and number of results.
