How do I do a search. I used to just type my subject in the search window, now when I do that I just get a listing of the latest posts.

What are you searching for? I just tried the search feature and it didn't look any different to me.

The search function on this board has never been very helpful. I use a google search instead, and add "quiltingboard" to the search terms. I'm far more likely to find what I want that way.

I end up going to google after a bit of frustration. I wasn't aware that others struggled with this also. This makes my day.
