What was the harm of just leaving it in place? And why has it taken you 5 years to realize that its now worthless?

The "harm" is that a high percentage of people were leaving our site because they were not finding what they were looking for with the browse feature. When a website gets nearly 1 Million unique users per month, a few will dislike any changes. But we have to make changes that improve the site as a whole, and our numbers show that removing the browse feature results in moe people finding what they're looking for.
It would probably be helpful if you could be more specific about why you think the search "sucks" - i.e. did you use a specific search term and didn't get good results?
