(Ergh. I hate losing unposted messages to a wonky auto-fill system...)
It's better now, yes, but it's not completely fixed yet.
A couple of weeks back, I did a few searches in "The Game Everyone Loves to Play", looking for some old posts I'd made; I came up completely dry, no hits at all.
Just now, I repeated those searches, and got mixed results.
First, I searched for my username with the "quick search" box, which I presume is the same as the advanced-search "search by keywords" option. I got two genuine hits (from the same thread) and one false positive. The genuine hits both had my name in the body of the post (e.g. quoting me), and there were multiple posts from me in that thread which were not found by the search.
Second, I searched for my username with the advanced-search "search by user name" option. I got no hits at all.
I know for a fact that I've made more posts than that in that forum, and I'm fairly sure some of them are recent enough that they're still in the database (and that I've found them while manually searching backwards through the history). IOW: something's still not right.
