Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 Ah yes, thanks @ocean90.

 This comment from @dd32 does a great job of summarizing why queries with
 post meta are slow on large sites and what we might do about it:

 @joemcgill - Did we ever consider the idea of adding an "Advanced"
 checkbox next to the search input? This could be unchecked by default
 (sticky per user), and to get meta searching you would have to check it.
 Huge sites like wp.com might still disable it entirely, but for most users
 I feel like this would be a nice enhancement to have and having meta
 search be optional and disabled by default should address the performance
 concerns.
