I think...it may be more helpful if supercell fixed the advanced search option to make it useful.
I mean - what on earth do you put in the search box to get the answer to this thread if all you know is that it looks like a butter churn?
That probably would be more helpful, but as loopy said, a drop down box when making a thread with all the common questions would also work.
But I agree, regular search is useless, and even advanced search can be a pain.
