Password- and search manager, old versions?

The new versions of the password manager and the search box are now Firefox-style instead of the old Opera style. Will the old ones be reimplemented later?

The password manager now only has "Save" and "Never" as choices, and no "Not Now", which was useful if a friend just quickly wanted to check his mail or something.

Also, when searching, it goes through the entire document whenever you type something. If you're on a slow computer, reading a big document, and then want to search for something that starts with "e", it'll highlight loads of characters and noticeably lag. Any way to revert these to their old selves, or will I have to either wait for a new version or downgrade?

You can click the 'x' close button on the 'save password' toolbar, that has the exact same effect as the 'not now' button in earlier Opera versions. Or do nothing, the toolbar will go away after a short while.

Searching through long documents will get better in newer versions. It might help to not wait until all the e's are highlighted, but to type a few more letters.
