can we get a fix for the "second page" problem ?

I'm willing to pay $

I was having exactly the same problem until I installed the advanced search mod found in this thread:

I know it's a long thread but I did this a while ago so my apologies for not pinpointing the exact post.

Hope this helps.

works for 4.0.18.
