How to search just 'competitions' forum.

Sorry if this has already been discussed somewhere but I don't use the site as much as I used to. Until recently I always searched using the red button at the end of the page numbers and it would give me just results from 'Competitions Time' . It now seems to give results from the whole forum. Is it broken or am I doing something wrong?
I used to use it often for finding the poster to thank for wins, not many wins lately but I've just had one from Real People and would like to find the actual comp.

1. Click "Search" icon, put search term (in quotes) in the box & click "Search" (same as before)
2. Click on "Discussions" button (options on RHS will appear)
3. Click on "Category" and scroll down and select "Competitions Time"
4. Click to select "Search Subcategories"
5. Click to deselect "Polls"
6. Click on "Sort By" and select "Newest"
TIP: After my first search of the day I leave it open in a tab. When I need to search again I just have to edit the search term and click on the "Search" button4 -
Thank you, for some reason even though I have used quotes it still searches every word. Better than before though0
