Comment:

 I'm going to close this one out.

 Unfortunately, WordPress is beholden to the limitations of MySQL, for
 better or worse.

 For the small minority of sites with extremely large data sets or the need
 for more accurate searching, something like ElasticSearch is a better
 option. There are several well documented ways out there that integrate
 fairly well.

 If there's something specific in WordPress blocking you from integrating
 with an external search, that can certainly be considered. But it's
 unlikely the premise behind this ticket will be addressed unless there's
 an update to how search in MySQL works.
