Not re-sizing the search box to accomodate the newly enlarged text is just poor design. Not giving users with decent eyesight the option to revert to normal size text is poor judgement. Removing customization abilities for additional search options is just plain annoying. WTF Google?

It is really, really, really, annoying that gets resized automatically. I have to keep readjusting and readjusting it to keep it reasonable and small for my taste.
