Comment (by gibrown):

 I think what we should do here is extract exact phrase matches when the
 user puts quotes around their search. That would make it pretty easy to
 take a generic phrase like `wp help` and make sure that the results have
 the phrase `"wp help"` rather than just the two tokens `wp` and `help`.
 Currently the search only does boosting by the phrase rather than
 requiring an exact match.

 Switching from our current forked JP Search code to the latest JP search
 will get us this for free and that is the plan, but we also need to
 customize the algorithm itself to match what we currently are doing. (in
 other words there is some work to do to get us there).
