Thanks!

I have retested as per the test plan and updated the text for the release notes
(as the 'Consolidate search box code' is not included.

I would like to see 'Consolidate the search code' patch picked up as it seemed
like an nice tidy up - maybe a separate bug? I'll leave that for the QA team to
decide or comment on.
