Search the Forum does not work for me...

[hal]

It works only for single word searches. the usual tricks like parentheses, commas, AND, OR - none of that works.

I'm really bummed about this. I used search to go back to pictures I've shown here, but now I can't find them.

Using google advanced search is a million times better https://www.google.com/advanced_search 

all the tricks work
