It's actually not a daily index, the index is constantly being updated based on the most recent results. It was only on the homepage, instead I've added this to the top of the page for you.
It's not being removed, there is a bug and I need to rewrite the function. All you really have to do is click the share results tab, select the text and copy it. Sorry for the inconvenience but copy to clipboard will return soon... but it's going to be on a separate tab. In my opinion clicking the tab then clicking the button takes the same amount of time as scrolling to the bottom and clicking a button, right?
Detailed results are available on all results under the share results tab.
You may have misunderstood my iphone comment... I took mobile users into consideration with the design but I'm always first and foremost focused on the desktop/laptop user.
I actually did roll this out with a soft launch but it wasn't public, it was only available to my moderators and select few. It was extensively tested before launch but when I release things... I just do it. I've always worked this way.
Sorry you don't agree with the changes or the way I roll them out. But I do give you the option to easily switch back, click 'previous versions' at the bottom of the page... most websites don't give users that option. Try as I might I can't please everyone... but I have to progress the website. If I never made changes then the version that you like wouldn't exist. If you really don't like it that much the old version is one click away.
