Now I'm just wondering if it would be better to keep the old fzf

hack.
Yes, this is what I'd recommend. Otherwise, your /usr/bin/fzf is going
to be overwritten next time you upgrade the fzf package.
OK, yes, I see now that was Roberto's original advice and put it in
/usr/local/bin
OK, so I dropped the new fzf into /usr/local/bin. I confirmed it is the
correct version with:
admin@ip-172-30-0-226 /usr/local/bin
$ ./fzf --version
0.27.2 (e086f0b)
"echo $PATH" reports:
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games
So it looks like any binary in /usr/local/bin should load first.
However, "which fzf" reports the /usr/bin as the location:
/usr/bin/fzf
I'm using zsh.
What am I missing?
