Where did my books > cloud search go?

Where do I find the search of books still in the cloud? It is essential to my workflow in the installation for which I maintain a limited library ... and I shall be exceedingly unhappy if you are forcing me to make yet another search which could be achieved by a simple Everything search before.

P.S. Given the size of my library, I still find the All Search ridiculously unusable until some sequencing is available; I recognize its value for basic libraries.

    Cloud is under Books > All Books:

    Group by:

    Library - as a section

    Book - look for title

    Author - look for author

    Type  - look for resource type

    Series  -  look for resource series  (No series are listed last)

    None  -  needle in a haystack!

    There is Books > Cloud Books, then

    Group by:

    Library - as a single Cloud section

    Book - by title

    Author - by author

    Type  - by resource type

    Series  -  by series  (No series are listed last)

    None  -  just a haystack!

    .

    Of which, Library and None urgently need alternative names.

    Agree!

    Too soon old. Too late smart.

    Agree with what, Bill?

    Does Books Search > All Books > Library not give you what you want with sections for Downloaded Books, Cloud Books and Personal Books? The other sections you associate with Everything flew out the cuckoo's nest starting with 10, continuing with 10.1 and now 22.0.

    I know but the more I work with the new configuration, the less I like it. I had underestimated how disruptive it would be despite recognizing why they were doing it.

    Coming late to this beta, I am surprised not to see comments about the configuration with new options for grouping and sorting results in Books Search. One option I posited in the beta of 10.0 was to combine Downloaded with Personal books, and that has happened when you group by Book. My only reservations concern the other "Groups", but i want to work with them a while before speaking out.
