Aaaarrrrgggh! Last night before I went to bed, I was alerted to two software upgrades. One was for Safari; I forget what the other was.

So I downloaded them. I wish I hadn't. I discovered two very annoying changes. First, I can't elect to empty the cache anymore; that option is completely gone when I click on "Safari" at the upper left.

Second, the Google search box has been removed from my toolbar. I went to "View" and "Customize toolbar, and tried, as instructed, to drag the Google search box to the toolbar. Doesn't work anymore.

Anyone have ideas about fixing this? I do a lot of Google searches. And I clear cache every time I log out.

Edit: Oh wait... It seems this is a deliberate new feature; evidently you just type your search terms in the location bar.

Now there’s one simple field for both search terms and web addresses. When you enter a web address, Safari takes you right to the web page — and even fills in the entire URL. Safari finds what you’re looking for in a faster and smarter way. As you type in the field, Safari stays one step ahead and suggests a Top Hit — the closest match to what you’re looking for. Safari uses pages from your bookmarks and history to find a Top Hit, so you find the right web page fast.

I'm not sure I like it, and what the hell happened to "empty cache"??

And I guess Mountain Lion, which I don't have, turns your Mac into a touch screen:

Tab View gives you the big picture of your browsing. Just pinch to see all your open tabs. Swipe left or right to move between them. And tap a tab to go right to the website. Multi-Touch makes Tab View a fun and natural way to browse.
