Comment:

 The old search sometimes wasn't helpful because there are lots of things
 that should match but didn't because of the limits.  The new one is
 somewhat the opposite, potentially giving too many results.  I prefer the
 new way since to me more info is better, but some may disagree.

 The big problem here is that we don't really know how most people use
 search.  One way to find out is to ship 1.7.0 with search like this and
 see if there are lots of tickets filed against it.  If so, we can always
 switch back to the old method in 1.7.1 until a better solution is found.
