No, you're not alone. ;-)

Some time ago Jason moved the FAQ application (originally written by me as an ISAPI application) and merged it within the scope of the larger 'community' application (which uses Indy/CGI). Whatever he did then, it broke the layered search, i.e., you can't do a "drill-down" search via the category and sub-category any more.

If you stick with the lowest-level topics in the rightmost panel and don't touch the other 2 panels, the search works fine and the 'Reset Previous Search' button also behaves properly.
