Use the search to find the gigs you like, and message as many sellers as you want.

Fiverr was never meant to be a bidding platform like Freelancer (that's why freelancers often charge less on Fiverr than on other platforms, because they don't have to waste their time bidding on requests).

This is my experience as a  buyer. The brief feature is still new, and it will improve. If your brief does not match a good seller, you will have to find a seller by searching for the service you want.

Very odd indeed as why they removed the well working old request. And by that, we moved away from Fiverr

I had hope that Fiverr-support or any buyers would suggest som more efficient request strategies. Sadly, as it is now, Fiverr is useless for us, and we are back at Freelancer.com again

That was never a main fiverr feature. What made fiverr different from other platforms that you can search for sellers and their gigs and place orders right away. 
Buyer requests were just an add on feature and mostly sellers with no experience we’re using it.

You can try to increase your budget when sending out briefs.

Of course, if you're only looking for the cheapest of the cheap, that won't work.

It has nothing with budget to do. Im looking for people with expertise in areas where i have no clue about, So i need to explain the problem with my own layman words and hopefully someone who know to solve the task will reply with a general suggestion.

Sometime i don't know what to look for specifically. "Programmer" or "Computer people" are all I know to look for when we have a sofware problem, but the there are "millions" of variations of programmers as it seems, i prefer to explain the problem in own layman words and hopefully someone understand the problem and offers to help. But the new request doesn't seem to reach out to general computer/programmer freelancers but handed over to only ONE "algoritm-choosen" freelancer as it seems, who will reply within a few seconds with something general like "Hi, i can solve this problem" and nothing more.
