Search consitancy

[Mike981]

It was just a month or so ago I could use the new cumbersome search feature on CC. Some frustration, but I was still able to find my desired results. It seems to be falling down hill.
1- When clicking on specific choices (and I like them) from the drop down when clicking in the search box, how about leave it open to check multiple choices all at once? Now you have to click a choice, then click the search box, then click your choice and so on.

2- How about not changing my 'choices' to the default setting. Sometimes it won't let me change it back, so I have to leave a forum and then return with a new search. Not fun, especially when you add in #1 above.

3- Making the search function, 'functionable' should be paramount so we can eliminate redundant threads.
