Slickdeals search function

Is it just me or has Slickdeals search function gotten worse recently? I think the site has been doing some cosmetic changes, but didn't notice a functional change until now.
Searching for deals used to be pretty reliable. Now the search results seem almost randomized, sometimes barely related to what you searched for. And this is with the default sort of "relevance" which should give the most relevant results.
I wonder if y'all changed the underlying search engine or something. Yesterday I gave up and searched on Google instead, adding "Slickdeals" to my query. That gave me the exact results I was looking for. But I'd rather just search here. Please change it back.
