I may have found the solution.
Open edge://flags, then search for the Tab Search Button flag, select disabled from the dropdown menu. Then restart. Ctrl + Shift + A should return to its previous appearance and behaviour before the update.

Bless your soul. So much easier to use this efficiently now -
1. Search open tabs (Ctrl + Shift +A)
2. Navigate to desired tab (up/down arrow keys)
3. Go to tab (Enter Key)
This workflow was completely messed up with the new update.
