All sorts of websites I use have that problem. As the other poster suggested, use your browser’s search rather than the forum’s:

site:forum-en.guildwars2.com inurl:forum search

That will pull up other posts about the wonky search function.

Ah I see, I’ve used this site’s search function before a long time ago I think, without these issues.

Some days, it works better than others. Since I can’t explain that easily, I just assume that some Elder Dragon is eating up the magic that powers the internet (since: probably as likely as any other explanation at this point).

Yes, search has been broken for a while yes. Here is another thread on the subject and an explanation about why it’s still broken: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Forum-search-is-broken/6008614
