Its still a work in progress, but the goal is to offer a more comprehensive search. In the past you could only search code snippets, scripts and apps, but now you can search discussions. We're opening the search to more data. If you are specifically searching for code snippets you can click the tab to the top right of the results to limit your results. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
@afp_romania We are deprecating the forum because it has been replaced with the status update system. We fixed the footer problem just recently. It will no longer be pushed down below the appended results and it will stay in place.
