Default Why the search engine is terrible

1) "Gems" and "gold" are not considered common terms and are searchable, but "AI" is too short and isn't.
2) You can only search a maximum of 20 pages, which isn't even enough to cover all the posts by some users even over just ONE YEAR.
3) You cannot search by poster name and any term simultaneously. Finding specific quotes from people without the ability to do this is ridiculously hard.
4) You should be able to search for posts/threads that receive high thanks values!
5) When you include multiple search terms in the search box, it should just include everything that isn't a preposition. If you're going through all that work it's obvious that you want all those search terms.

I'm sure there's more and I don't care to think of them at this moment. Feel free to add your own favorite complaints about the search engine and why it doesn't work.
