Can MNHQ please confirm advanced search is coming back?

You've said that it will, but also that you aren't bringing it back because you've 'improved' (ie broken) the standard search.

Can you please confirm you week restore the fully functional, original advanced search, so we can avoid the car crash that is the new one, and when do you anticipate making the change?

What's improved about it, apart from actually showing recent posts rather than posts from 2008 as standard, feck all! You're timeline search is an absolute piss take for the able bodied but for us with poor motor control, it's an utter fuck you but then so is your tiny thread titles that invariably take you onto chat, aibu etc instead of the thread you want.

God yes I honestly never had any trouble with the old advanced Search and loved it actually. It really worked and i used it loads

This one does not work at all for me.
I typed in a title of a very recent thread which I know is there and it didn't come up with it!! It just makes no sense at all

I just put in my own username and it came up blank?

That's about the only thing it does work on for me!

It seems things work for some people but not others

Yes! Please bring back advanced search. I lost a thread the other day about an op who was very poorly. It had a specific medical term in the thread - so I searched for that in an appropriate time period. Nothing. Not a thing.

Did eventually find it when it popped into active again, and there was no reason it shouldn't have returned a result. Spelling was correct, time period was correct.

I can see only three of my "much more thn three" searches. They're not the three most recent, not the three earliest, just three random posts. Bring back the"old search" - if it ain;'t broke, don't fix it!

Yes please bring the old one back. The new just doesn’t work.
