hang on the source code says (and I don’t know whether this will show properly, so i will put two versions, the second being where i replace the ‘greater than’ and ‘less than’ signs with brackets)

(input type=”submit” id=”my-submit” class=”hidden” value=”Search” /)

Yes,

Although they could reduce a size of text fields a bit and add small “GO” button :-)

I suppose they left it out, most people use the ‘enter’ or return key to submit their query. It is much faster to use the keyboard only and leaving the button out saves space.

Search buttons are old technology. Just hit enter. :)
But I will admit, it does take a little time to be comfortable with the new navigation.

When loaded in Opera the search button appears for a moment, but then disappears when the page is loaded.
