Comment (by birgire):

 The {{{parse_search()}}} seems like a good place for
 the filter:

 {{{
 $search_columns = apply_filters( 'post_search_columns', $search_columns,
 $q['s'], $this );

 }}}

 where we can loop over the columns with e.g.:

 {{{
 $searches = array();
 foreach( (array) $search_columns as $search_column ) {
         $searches[] = $wpdb->prepare( "({$wpdb->posts}.{$search_column}
 $like_op %s)", $like );
 }

 if( $searches ) {
         $search .= "{$searchand}(" . join( " $andor_op", $searches ) .
 ')';
 }

 }}}

 within the search terms loop.

 I will look into this further with unit tests.
