    One of those Internet things? Search works for me:

    The search box you used is for the whole WordPress site search.
    This box is for searching just with the current plugin/theme support forum.

    This has been driving me crazy too for months but I have a workaround that seems to work. In your example, when you enter the search term the following is put into google:

    format+intext:”Theme:+Shop+Isle”

    which yields no results, very frustrating. The problem seems to be that the spaces have been replaced by + signs, so I replace the double quotes for single ones and it seems to work.

    format+intext:’Theme:+Shop+Isle’

    @joncon62, interesting workaround, however, it seems not to work as the original plugin/theme search did before, because replacing to single quotes will still search the entire WP forum, not just the plugin/theme support issues.
