Default Topic Search?

I can no longer figure out how to search Splitcoast by topic ie. Manhattan Flower Die or Mother's Day. Please help.

Mother's Day is easy because there's a link for it under "M" in the Occasions Galleries: Occasions Galleries at Splitcoaststampers

Searches for multi-word phrases, such as Manhattan Flower Die, are a bit more challenging. I usually use Google for those. For example, copy this search string into Google's Search box:

"manhattan flower die" site:splitcoaststampers.com/gallery


That should return about 17 hits in the gallery. You can change the phrase inside the quotation marks to whatever words you want, and it will match the exact phrase. The second part of the search string above will limit Google's returns to the SCS gallery. If you want to search for the forums instead, the string for Google would look like this:

"manhattan flower die" site:splitcoaststampers.com/forums

How cool - a way around Boolean searches not working.
I am going to paste that into a notepad document on my desktop. Thanks so much.
