When I try to search the forums, No matter what I type I get

Your query was not specific enough. Try using larger words, or less common phrases.

Is there any other way to search since this one is apparently not working?

It has been suggested that google is bettwr at searcing this forum than the forum itself

Try it for yourself by comparing the results of searching the forum got joomladay and ding the same with google
http://www.google.com/search?q=joomlada ... joomla.org


Then just replace joomladay in the url above with your search word

Bizaare I know but it does seem to work
