 I work on a number of sites that have been in existence for several years,
 and most of these sites have several HUNDRED pages. It has become very
 time consuming to find the "Front Page" or the "Blog Page" or any of the
 other "main" pages by flipping through 20 or 30 ''pages'' of pages or
 using the search. These pages are marked in the UI as "<Title_of_page> -
 Front Page" or "<Title_of_page> - Blog Page", but searching for "Front
 page" of "Blog page" does not single out these pages.

 Can we get some option that either places these "main" pages at the
 top/front of the page list (As they are arguably the most important pages)
 or perhaps make the search robust enough to recognize specific key words
 like "Front" or "Blog" in a search and prioritize those "main" pages when
 they are searched? At the very least, can we get a checkbox to search page
 titles only instead of also searching the content? I find that the vast
 majority of the time, I am searching for pages based on title, not their
 content.

 I realize there is an "Edit page" link in the admin bar, but I do not use
 the admin bar because it often times interferes in the design process.
