Quoting Michael Heilemann <michael at binarybonsai.com>:

> * Sort by relevance
> * Use AND and OR as well as "quotation marks", you know... Google style
> * Perhaps tie into non-database pages (wishful thinking I guess).
> * Searches not JUST entries, but also comments. And in advanced mode
> can be made to search in either titles, entries and comments, or a
> combination
> * Search within current search results, for narrowing in on an entry.
> * Search within date range (preferably using a snazzy date selection
> tool of some sort instead of stupid type-in ;))

Thanks for the ideas! This should make some interesting development time. My
system [1] as it currently stands covers one of those checkpoints.
