Comment (by RevelationTravis):

 Greetings everyone,

 I am the person who created the thread on the forums. Since there is a
 trac ticket, that thread was marked as resolved and I thought I would jump
 in here to throw in my 2 cents.

 My problem was that I was not always getting the results that I expected
 to get using the built in search for the insert link. The best explanation
 that I got, and this seems to make sense from my tests, is that the built
 in search uses "and" and not "and/or".

 For example, I have a page titled "Three Columns", which is a child of a
 page titled "Templates". Now, if I search for "templates" they both show
 up. If I search for "three" then the child page shows up. If I search for
 "columns", they both show up. So far, so good. But if I search for "3
 Columns" - then only the parent page shows up. So, what baffled me and
 caused me to report it as a bug, is that I would expect for "3 columns" to
 show the child page, especially considering that just "columns" shows it.

 I guess the search using "and" and not a "and/or" would explain that.

 But still, that's not predictable results. And having a section where you
 can "link to existing content" would sure help a whole lot of users when
 those search results don't provide what we're expecting them to.

 To me, this sounds less like a case of somebody missing the good ol' days
 and more like somebody trying to fix something that wasn't broken.

 Thank You,
 Travis
