Comment:

 [attachment:20044.5.diff] cleans things up a bit.

 That said, this doesn't help with ordering. In fact, #7394 kind of gets in
 the way here (it was fixed after this ticket was opened). You could add
 more fields to search, or even remove some, but it doesn't affect the
 ordering — a perfect post_name match ends up on the final page of results.
 That's not a great experience. Some earlier patches on #7394 allowed for
 the reverse: it helped with ordering but not with which fields were
 searched. Seems like we should add both tools at once.
