Why does it not show an advanced search button or link on the home page by the regular search area?
I thought this was supposed to be "Advanced Search"???
It is an advanced search, it is designed to run from within the category though, not the homepage. Perhaps in future this may change, but this is how it is right now, so any change would require some customization.
