Games listed from opening explorer is broken

Hello,

When I want to see the games that I have played from a certain position in the opening tree, the site shows all of the games I have ever played instead.
Basically, searching games with specified FEN doesn't work properly for my own games:
Search for games with 1. e4 which I have played only 27 times:

I don't think it is broken.

I have never heard that the Explorer worked on FEN position searches.

It does show that you have played 1 e4 27 times as white.

and that you have played 1. d4 7,322 times

When you click on the number (27), it should bring a list of games continuing from that position. It was working in the past now it's broken. I think it still works with master games and you can try it now but not with user's archive games anymore.
Also, the generated link/URL shows the functionally of searching based on FEN

It does not work for me to see my games from a certain starting position.

I don't think it ever worked that way when you had a lot of games.

It only showed you the games when you were down to a handful.
