I concur.
Typing the search phrase in the upper right slot is mostly useless, it takes forever to get an answer which often may even prove irrelevant. Clicking the Search button on the right of an empty slot seems counterintuitive. Even then it's not straightforward, you have to click the words "Advanced search" - where you actually can choose "Most recent topics first" in the dropdown menu among other parametres such as the poster and the date of the post.
But even that is not all! Click the bar below saying "Choose a board to search in, or search all" in the left for the most obvious forums. Notice that unlike the "Set Search Parameters" bar, here the text is written in black on a dark olive drab background for decreased contrast and visibility. After having done all of the above, click the tiny Search button in the far right corner of the search window.
Trying to find all the clickable things makes for good neck excercise if you have your browser set to full screen on a large monitor.
No wonder people keep asking the same things over and over again.
