Why did Yahoo remove Advanced Search?
I used to post here quite a bit, but once they took away the Advanced Search feature, it became too difficult to move around the site.
Has there been any thought to bringing it back? It makes the site pretty useless when you can't search for specifics.

The hid it. Do a regular search, save it, then go to the saved search. Edit that and the Advanced Search pops up.
