Please allow searches for complete phrases, AND is frequently not
sufficient. (ie '"brown cows" AND cats' as opposed to 'brown AND cows AND
cats').
Threads.
Its probably personal choice but change from an implied OR to an implied
AND or at least throw in a radio button to choose. Better yet mimic
google's query structure, (hell, hang the messages out there in files by
thread and let google index them for us).
Rather then just recent or all, some breakpoints that coincide with
release dates might be helpful. (7 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1
year, since 4.6-RELEASE, since 4.5-RELEASE etc).
Highlight search terms when viewing a matching document, makes it much
easier to decide if it is an irrelevant match.
