Well, I understand the much less traffic, after all, they have completely nuked the search engine.
I have empty apartments I can no longer furnish anymore. try searching for 1020 Alto Apartments, or 19CulpepperHouse, or any apartments, no results, even I simple word like Apartment brings you nothing but residental lots, so if you got empty bulldozed apartments you are now on your own to furnish them yourself.
One good thing about the lack of interest of the gallery, gallery performance is a lot faster, with less time-outs, etc.
I wonder what they deciding on screwing up next.
@Citysim9997 Hi! I think this thread is more about the DL counts being changed; reduced by the update, not about how many people are using the Gallery and actually downloading.
I do understand your frustration with the search issues though. There is a thread for that at this link.

I see that you commented there already so this is more for others who might be reading also. Hopefully more folks will add their "me too" there.
As for the apartment searches, you might try selecting the Rooms category. I ran searches for several of the San Myshuno and Evergreen Harbor lots, as well as just a search for Apartment, and found numerous creations.
I hope this helps!
