The cleaner layout is nice, but it would be helpful, I think, if you provided the ability to control some aspects of the search page.
- choices of how much description to display, and an option to provide it via hover popup or a click-to-expand button on the item listing  instead
- choices of displaying the category thumbnail image or perhaps a primary uploaded image related to the torrent.
- perhaps choosing from a selection of column styles where there are full scrollable description columns as well as shortened minimal description columns; expand this to even having individual columns for things currently combined into one, like the "Info" column, which could also allow for a category image column and a torrent image column.
For my use, the current new version is exceedingly too spread out and too noisy. I intend to keep using whatever the default is as you develop this, though, just in case it's just something I need to get used to. 
Also, just to mention, I have never really used the "Browse" option, but I think it would be more useful to me if it offered a way to easily indivicate what I've already downloaded, perhaps like "Freeleech" is overlaid as a banner, or dimming the image until it is hovered over.
