Search input module missing

Description

I upgraded several DNN instances to the latest version DNN 712 and noticed that the search engine/interface changed.
The new skinobject is a great improvement for DNN and we are really happy with the new search.

Unfortunately I also noticed there's no search input module anymore.
In a lot of our website we made a search page with the seachinput module in stead off using a skinobject.
After the upgrade to DNN712 these pages are empty now.

On most of our websites we use the search module in stead of the search skinobject.
When we perform an upgrade we are forced to migrate the search module to a search skinobject. So we have to change all skins for this website.

We can rebuild this functionality to a skinobject but I assume there's replacement for the searchinput module?

We have some DNN instances with more than 50 websites. When we upgrade this instance we are forced to change about 100 to 200 skins....

The new search combines the Input and Search Results module.

Hi, I see the search functionality was changed, but this should not be a reason why the search-module should disapear. I'm managing a lot of websites that use the search module in the content panes. This looks like a breaking changes with a lot of impact --> we will not be the only ones using this.

this is behaviour by design (i.e. in the upgradetoversion710 step of upgrade.cs we do a UninstallPackage("DotNetNuke.SearchInput"); ) - this was done as that module would not work. I am not aware of any plans to create a module for the new search but I will mark this as triaged so that team can decide.
