BTW I've discovered the same thing just tonight my time. Seems something odd is happening. And I'm downunder you people. lol
I still have a few downloads going despite searches not working well at moment.
What type of files are you searching for?
Mine were video on this occasion, not especially common ones though, but still usually get more results. Audio search I had no problem at all.
