Problems doing Searches within Specific Countries with new forms

Hi, I have a World subscription as have ancestors in UK, Australia, USA and Ireland.

I used to use the old geographic search facility regularly where I would click on a map and find records relevant to the country I was interested in.

Now with the new search form, I only see a map of the UK (if I am logged from home),using the "Explore by Location" feature, and there seems to be no ability from the "Search all records" home page to be able instead to click on a map for a different country altogether(eg Australia). The only way now that I can find all the records for Australia, or even New South Wales (for eg), is to go to the card catalogue which is much more cumbersome.

Is there any way around this? I really dont like this new Explore by Location feature!!

Thanks
