Reckon this game will be 2/3 over by the time I wake up, so I probably won't be playing.

Well, just stay up late and give it a try!

In one of my fist participations in the pattern game, I made a successful search of that kind and got the highest at the very beginning of the game.
The search has been disappointing in the next games.

I agree, but it's very pattern dependent. The searches for me are quite simple, as I use millions of pre-computed, highly-biased solution grids. But the yield is, indeed, low.
