Er, maybe I'm missing something, but all I see is a little search box that leads to a list of all posts ever written with those words in them... and lots of ads.
Didn't the old search have the ability to search for posts by author and title as well? I'm confused.

It did, yes. Although the ability to search a specific member's posts for keywords was disabled due to it causing server-overload, the search function still allowed you to view all posts by specific members. If you did search a member's posts for a keyword, it would shift to a google mode very similar to what it now is (although it was still better, since it at least worked for me). This new search fuction doesn't work for me at all so, I hope the admin can sympathise with my predicament.
I "don't get it" either, but I bookmarked the original search.
you can Bookmark it, too
