Has anyone else found that their boolean searches no longer work? I just get "Your Boolean search contains a quote or a bracket that is missing its corresponding mark." for any I try. Stopped working on all my existing searches yesterday.

I checked mine and they seem to be working fine. I'm not getting any of the error messages you seem to be getting at least...

I am getting same error on one of my searches.
Others are working okay.
Have to find out exactly what the problem is. Maybe new limit on number of characters allowed in search.... Or something else.... Will find out soon.

So far as I can tell they have broken support for parenthesis -- which makes boolean searching a bit hopeless as you can't force operator priority.
So this currently works:
Tolkien NOT "david day"
But not this:
Tolkien NOT ("David Day" OR bestiary)
