There are ongoing problems with the search function. The Forum Team are well aware of them.
It is frustrating for all concerned, BUT, there is light at the end of the tunnel, as the new Forum which is due to roll out soon, will have a working search function. Or at least that is the hope.
You are better of forgetting the function that is there is now, and just asking your question on the Forum. The Admin team and the Moderators accept that we will see the same questions over and over, but without the ability to search, what else can the new users do?
Hope this helps.
