I Feel Sorry for Heritage Sellers - The Frustration of Trying to Search

The new search function is so difficult, I think some bargains will be had.
The new function seams to want me to have to do 10 steps to define a search I want...
Maybe someone has cracked the code and can help. Let's say I want a search that will return:
- Pre 1841
- PCGS Graded
- US Coins
- For auction
How do I create this list?
So from acquire coins, I first select all current auctions. That is one criteria. It still has 5,208 items including artwork, foreign coins, etc. I pick PCGS on the left. This cuts it substantailly down to 1,422 items. But I still want to cut it to aloder type coins. I can select half dime, but now I only have two items and I cannot add in other types, so remove half dimes, and I am back at 1,422 items, most of which I do not want to look at.
Now I add 179 OR 180 OR 181 OR 182 OR 183 to the keyword list, thinking it will get me the older coins only. But I get zero results.... Let's try 179 OR 180 to see if the multiple ORs confused it. Again, zero results.
By this time, I am frustrated. I have no desire to creat a search for each coin type individually.
Even in my want list, I have a category, a grading service, and a grade range, but I get primarily items outside my search criteria.
If Heritage folks are reading this, please help!

For searching it's fine for browsing it sux. Try jumping from one denom to another.
