Where did the forum Search capability go?

Some posts (especially those to noobs asking old questions) generate the response "Why don't you search the forums"

Well, my forum menu contains:

Home / All Forums / Active Topics / Your Profile / Register / FAQ / Add to Favorites

What happened to the search button?

Here is a link to a thread asking the same question search forum button.

What is generally accepted is that at least change the display settings on the pull down menu to look at the very least the last 30 days to see if your question has been asked. In this case the search forum button was in a thread last posted in 2 days ago and only two threads below your thread now. That's called not looking for a previously answered question.

Look in the lists.

Let's see how this server handles the pressure! It's no a question of bandwidth, but of pure processing speed... Mainly a question of memory on the server....

I don't think it matters for you and I. We're stuck to admiralcy for the rest of our natural TLR lives

I noticed three significant changes to the Search function:

1. There is no option to search "All Forums" any more.
2. I must have at least 3 letters for the search to work.
3. Freelancer Discussion and Freelancer Babylon 5 Mod Forum appear out of order in the pull down list.

The second is not so much an issue, except if a poster misspelled something and I am looking for 2 letters there is no way to be misspelled of the word I am searching.
