Well guys, I don't know why you spent all that time redesigning the search engine as going by the previous searches I seem to be the only one actually using it!

You need to shout it out or make a bigger link button.

Do they need to clearly state it is _your_ previous searches?

The "previous searches" I'm shown are nothing to do with me...

Mind you, that might be because I don't use the search. It's quicker, easier, and more flexible to just google.

I use it and don't understand why everyone slates it.

Put in half decent related search words and ye shall find.

I'm a fan of the way it automatically sorts results by default to least relevant and oldest, while making it very difficult to specify a single forum to search or even to narrow the results down quickly.

I don't use it, because after it was borked for so long I got used to it not working and have never gone back to it. Without an announcement to say they have fixed it, how would I know?

Got to agree with that. It's an inverse universe.
