I was very hard to notice. I will second Tweetscan. (used to use terraminds, but that went down) It works better than the "replies" tab. You can find your @ name anywhere in the tweet, great if someone replies to you but say "hey @gotbob...." I would never see it in my replies tab.

The text "Name or location" is new, but you could have searched twitter for name or location at least 6 months or a year ago when it was above your friends list. To answer your questions: Do you see much value in searching through your tweets? How about for users?: Yes, using the twitter search is one of the first ways I search for local twitter users. So the value was there to find local twitters to organize a tweetup and that's what I did. We had over a 30 plus local twitter users at at meetup. See http://triangletweetup.pbwiki.com/ Still it's good to see twitter making changes, I think a twitter is about to start making some money soon with ads on the side bar.
