Is there any reason that I canNot bring up/activate the "advanced search" function from my new iMac w/OS Big Sur???????? I move the curser from "SEARCH" down to "Advanced Search" and the search box disappears.

Ron....You need to keep the cursor on the tiny arrow next to "advance search" while you click

Phil I have tried that but no joy. Many times just moving the cursor from "SEARCH" down to the search block the block disappears.

Move the cursor from "SEARCH" down to the search block and click. Then click on "Advanced Search"

Tried that a couple dozen times with no joy. Don't knew if you are familiar with the Mac Magic Mouse but whilecontinuing continuing trying suggestion accidentally scrolled down pass the ads then clicked on the search arrow, it worked! But this does not work all the time.

Fascinating. I use Win 10 and I played around more after seeing your comment, Ron. If I start the cursor in open space, then move to "Search," and click, without crossing over anything else, then to the big box that opens, then back to open space, without the cursor crossing anything, I can repeat the process 50 times and the "Advanced" option will not stop its disappearing act. However, If I pass over the ads or anything that is not open space, the "Advanced Search" will make itself available to open.
A to B to C to A to B, etc., as many times as desired and the Advanced does the disappearing act.
A to B to C to D to A to B and then clicking on it works. Strange. But interesting.

You don't click on Search. You just place your mouse over it. When you do that, this appears:
Click on "Advanced Search" and you're there. If it does not work like that for you, try another browser.

NOT SO! I do not click on "Search" just hover over it. Then mover the cursor down into the search box. Sometimes as stated before the search box disappears. Other times can do a simple search from the search box. And as I have stated with some manipalaltion can achieve an Advanced Search.
And in the world do I want to add another browser when this IS the ONLY problem have run into!?
