"Threads'' and ''Posts'' search results are returned, but honestly, they're not ever very useful or relevant to what you're actually looking for. In fact, they impede what youre actually looking for by consistently returning irrelevant results.

The Google results are really the only ones that return fast, relevant results. But just not working lately...

Does that strange link show up when you are logged in? And did you try it again?
As far as irrelevant results, those only happen when you are searching Threads. When you search on Posts, all listings will have words you are searching for.

This was a technical issue that should now be fixed.

It's working fine now.

But it was both logged and unlogged in when it was occurring.

Thanks for the tip with regard to threads vs posts searches.
