Suddenly my searches contain a lot of obscuring X icons. What did I do to cause this and what do I do to correct this now?

Where are you searching and for what? Can you show us a screenshot?

I guess you have turned on the Map Notes. Click on the icon representing 3 layers on the right hand side. Deselect "Map notes". The pins with the notes will disappear.

The wiki explains this feature in detail.
