Right, then...I've been working on this for a while, and I can finally reveal that the search functionality is pretty much fixed.
All searches now search for
all words in your query, rather than
any. Also, I've moved things around a bit so that you no longer need to go to the advanced search to use the fancy functionality - just click "More Options" for a more sensible set of options and some examples on how to use the field searches:
IMPORTANT NOTE: You might need to clear your browser cache to make it look nice. If you're on Safari, you might need to clear it a couple of times (and, for once, that's
not me being snarky about Apple).

If I search (for example) for:
@user Sporky "Ibanez Talman"
I get results for all users, and with only "Ibanez". Is that right?
Leave it with me.

That one doesn't come up even if I just search "Talman".
Sorry - it is already better, but my assumption is that you'd like us to tell you if we find gaps in the functionality. Or any undocumented features. Or any other ways of expressing "bug". You can tell me to stop and I probably will.
So, effectively, both Google and the site search are wrong. I have no idea why.

70 results - Google's clearly not keeping up
I've fixed the indexer, which was missing a whole bunch of content out because of a dodgy query in the search plugin.
I'm also getting unexpected behaviour - searching for "way huge" in the FX £ section does what I expect when I set results to "most relevant".
Changing to "most recent" (which is the best way to search the FS section) seems to revert to searching for Way OR huge instead of Way Huge.
