You seriously pulled our chain with the drafts and Queue thing for months? Now it's gone with no word about it.
Can't you at least let us know if your thinking about it or are ever really going to do anything with it? I'm just curious.
Thanks for finally allowing us to see our favorites.
Nice refresh! I like having all my tumblelogs visible at once on the right-hand side.
You've out-done yourselves again. This is why we're all so dedicated to your incredible service.
Thanks!
Though the new layout, I must say, is 95% great.
The extra 5% is loss in the layout for the "Global Search", as Marc called it when I emailed him several months ago, when it was accidentally released.
Except when it was accidently released, it showed up the same way Dashboard searches and My Post searches show up: in Dashboard type blocks.
The square layout, while working for stuff like Radar and all that, doesn't really work when it comes to the whole Tumblr search. Being able to fully read and see whatever is posted without having to click is what got me so excited when Global search was leaked months go. And worse, the search under Tumblr doesn't even include every post that includes the searchers keyword, instead it only picks up on posts several weeks back.
I feel like an idiot complaining, but I thought you guy were gonna keep the Global search the same, seeing that you guys kept the Dashboard/My Posts search result layouts the same. Most people don't mention searches when it comes to these upgrades I've noticed. They are more concerned with seeing what they've Liked (which is a crucial and beautiful additional tool). But I feel that being able to search and to see the results in the same way you can look at Dashboard results would be the ideal look. Leave the square bingoesque blocks to the Radar screen.
I hope this is read and my suggestion for what I think is a more ergonomically friendly Tumblr search layout would at least be considered.
Thank you Tumblr Staff. This is a major upgrade to the site.

Now it may be sexy and ajax enabled, but it's mostly unreadable, hides any relevant info, ignores every precious former post and has lost all filtering options.
The alternative to the made-it-yourself route would be for the good Tumblr folks to give us some Tumblr love in the form of a secret gorgeous v4 search URL, and then to apply some greasemonkey-fu to substitute v5 for v4 search, but i suppose we can only hope for that while the Great Tumblr Search mashup is being built by a teenage mutant armadillo in a hidden arctic base in Uranus.
Now I'll begin another hybrid v3 userstyle. Heigh-ho.
Search > Tumblr apparently choses SOME of the (best, last) results. A bit unintuitive, but I am happy with that.
Still no filters, sadly.
But since I experienced 'Search > Tumblr' back in November when it was accidentally leaked (I feel like the only person that realized it was out for that day or two), and since it had the same layout that Dashboard and My Posts search results have now, it's disappointing to see this square result page that mirrors the 'Radar' page. And the fact that it only picks up "some" is really degrading. The Global Search, in the format they had it before and the format the other searches have now, is the best one. I don't know what caused the difference.
I just hope someone decides to change it. If I worked at Tumblr that'd be my number one priority at this point.
We'll see.
I can attest to that. For some reason, I prefer to follow tumblelogs directly, going there periodically, so I don't use 'Follow'. Since v4 I have been using 'Filter > All posts' to do global searches. It's amazing, it's great, it's wonderful, it's Tumblr at its heist.
I take from your words that it didn't do that if you were following people, just the same as now, with v5.
Now my last comments might make a bit more sense.
and you're right. it does look damn sexy
Amazing job!
Tumblr Team, keep rockin' our socks. Thx for all the hard work!
I like the new features: tumblr search, especially. But you've also taken away features. If I used the dashboard I'd be pretty pissed off right now because (once again) there is no longer a way to just see your own posts (or, at least a way that is obvious to first look at the UI).
You did this once before, people complained, and you added a filter bar. So IMO, taking it away again was a bit silly -- you knew people wanted it.
General impression: full of gloss and graphics, signifying not much. Sorry.
But neither of these methods are apparent from looking at the user interface.
If a function that lots of people want is not obviously accessible from the user interface, then the user interface is not designed well.
Is this some sort of subtle post-ironic hint?
They should compress the likes and rebloggs into a little blurb at the bottom and only expand the rebloggs where someone comments on a post. I think that would be better.

thanks for letting me know :)
The new Search > Tumblr is awful in the current square block layout. Truly awful.
Good sir Alber, who responded to my first and second comment below told me that if you aren't following anyone, Search > Dashboard is essentially Global Search without the ridiculously flawed current layout. It's Global Search the way it's should be and the way searching one's Dashboard and My Posts looks.
Then why Search > Dashboard (if you aren't following anyone) totally gone now. I can't search everyone's tumblr. Why was this taken down?
Come on guys, make Global Search you're absolute priority. It makes searching the site by keyword extremely fun and a great way to find other tumblrs. The incomplete results of the current square layout (Its bullshit, i'm sorry) is horrible.
Anyway, I'm just pissed cause you guys seem to have everything you need to get it going but have only taken it away.. twice already.
Sincerely,
A baffled Tumblr user.
Then why is Search > Dashboard**
your absolute priority**
I have killed my dear, dear Global Search.
Ugly.
