FiOS TV Search

My daughter likes ABBA.  So, now having FiOS for about a year, when searching "ABBA" I find that only religious programs including 'Abba" in the title or description and the actress  'Hiam Abbass' are listed.  While watching AXS yesterday I accidentally discovered that their program 'Rock Legends' will feature ABBA this coming Monday (ABBA is clearly listed in the program description).  Therefore, I tried the search again for ABBA and it still does not list this upcoming program on Monday.  Before I came to Verizon I had Cox cable and my periodic ABBA searches revealed that about twice a year a Biography program on ABBA will play and Palladia will play "ABBA The Movie".  However, now I find that a Verizon search will NEVER list any programs for the group ABBA.  Why?  I checked all my settings and Parental Controls-everything is OK there.  Does Verizon search purposely block the group ABBA or is their search function flawed?

Thanks,

The search function lost 'keyword' search functionality during the last set top box upgrade. This was the upgrade that make the massive and ugly color/design changes. 

I opened a support ticket on the issue and was told the functionality will come back 'in a future upgrade', no ETA. In the meantime, I've downloaded the tv guide app to my smartphone and it use for keyword searches.

I have noticed that I can no longer search by particular ADULT actresses anymore.  I could before the last upgrade, but no longer.  Why can't they leave alone what ain't broke!
