Eric, first of all you have to be sure that you have the font sets properly set up and indexed. Then it does help if you have a lot of fonts yourself, I have a personal collection of about 75,000 fonts. The newer version has greater ability to search the internet now for many, many more fonts too. Then after being sure that your searches will cover the greatest amount of fonts, you need to sometimes edit what you are trying to find to optimize the search but it seems like you already know very well how to do that. For the price I think it's one of the greatest values in graphic software and essential to anyone in the business.
