It's funny that you mention it: They cleaned up the search interface, you can
now only enter 1 player for each black and white resp.

The remedy is to use the player index (which also works in real time now) and
put all the players on the clipboard (which is no longer restricted to any
number of games).

Still, Chess Assistant offers a better search dialog in that respect and doesn't
have you figure out yourself that you ought to use the clipboard (which has
become an important tool after they now removed the silly limitations of the
past).
