How to access SBB Advanced Search?

I was searching for train tickets at sbb.ch on Wednesday using the Advanced Search to adjust interchange time. Now I can no longer find the Advanced Search? Was it removed? Can it still be accessed somehow?

There is a “Settings” button where I can add a “via” field but in the Advanced Search on Wednesday I could also set how much to reserve time for that station but now I don’t see how to do that. The “Settings” has an option for “Longer interchange time” but it doesn’t really seem to do anything - I still get the same connections with very short interchange times which is an issue when buying supersaver tickets where you are buying a ticket for a specific train.

I also tried the Android app but that had even less advanced options. Is there any way to access the Advanced Search? Where did it go?

Limeuhu12 Yeah, as I said it doesn’t really do anything for my searches. I tried others and sometimes it adds time but often changes nothing. With the Advanced Search you could set time for the “via” station and it actually worked.

Limeuhu12 Thanks for your help anyways. Very unfortunate that the good Advanced Search was apparently removed and replaced with this very vague “recommended”, 50 % more, twice thing. In addition to the “via” and custom minimum time, you could also choose “at least 10 minutes”, “20 minutes”, and “30 minutes” for the interchange in another option in the “Advanced Search”.

I can of course buy each leg separately but it’s more work and SBB charges more for the individual trains than all together in a single purchase.
