The search engine works just fine.
I just did a search for "e6" as such:
Advanced Search, Entered "E6" in the "Contains All These Words"
It is a recent thread being looked for, so I used the date filter and entered "AFter" "July 9, 2019"
I got a nice result showing the recent "E6" thread.
Adding the additional search parameter (After July 9, 2019) changes everything. By adding that one additional search parameter, you narrowed the search to only a few days worth of posts here, instead of several years worth. That makes a huge difference in the results returned from any search engine.

"Almost" any search engine. Good to know. I don't supposed the part about 3 word minimum is in the boilerplate we were supposed to read when we registered. In any event, I now know that a 2 word search won't work. I also now know to never label a topic with just 2 words.
There ya go... you learned something new today!
