CL makes something like 50 million a year. I just don't believe they are incapable of fixing search. Hell Plenty of Fish runs on something like 6 servers + a CDN and offers a very structured advanced search.
I think this is just the typical case of someone being surprised by their success, and being too scared to change anything, in fear of driving users away.
CL can spend 5-10 million on infrastructure out of profits...w/o selling out, not that it would cost that much...they just choose not to.
