Small note of lost functionality from the old search though: It used to have tickboxes for the demographics Shoujo/Josei/Seinen/Shounen, which I would use to exclude Shoujo/Josei and leave Seinen/Shounen/uncategoried to display as normal. This no longer seems to be possible.
While technically true, the demographic "genres" were deprecated and discouraged from being used months ago in favor of the separate Demographic setting. Their search results haven't been accurate ever since.
I agree that finetuning the Demographic option similarly to how the tags work now could be useful (complete with the and/or option), but truthfully so could the other options (Original language and Publication status at the moment, possibly with more coming), and I gotta say I'm hesitant to make the search queries increasingly more complex both for the sake of the UI as well as performance.
rdn has been working on a significant update to the search backend, so once we've got that rolling we'll re-examine our options .
