Search on sight

[Bsnapshot]

I been trying to search for some topics on the new sight but I am doing something wrong. I got used to the old sight and now when I do a search I get (The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words) I looked in the FAQ and it says to ad a + or * and | to the words but I still come up empty. Can someone please offer some advice.

I've noticed a few things not working correctly.
Search not working as it should.
If I use the auto log in, my last visit doesn't update, therefore I end up with 2 pages of 'new posts' that don't have new postings. have to remember to log out and even then it doesn't always mark and clear read posts.
No easy link back to the parent site. Got that bookmarked, just open a new window for it.

One thing I have noticed is that if I don't check the auto log in, it still remembers me, when before I had to relog in every time I opened the browser (which was my preference).
