Comment (by sqhk):

 I've been using WordPress for years, and I've been astonished how mediocre
 the internal search is, but I sort of assumed that it will be fixed
 eventually. But no, no change whatsoever in the internal search since
 2006. I've been disappointed again and again on every update. Simple
 things like: 1) Returning the results in order of relevance; 2)
 Highlighting the matches; 3) Showing only the text snippets surrounding
 the matches; etc. simple things, which have become the standard for any
 search engine, are still not available in WordPress. Shame, real shame!
