I am not sure how this could be done, but I often want to search for post of certain keywords by certain users only. I may remember that particular person posted on a certain topic and want to re-visit that info. For instance, I might like to search what a certain user has had to say about Merlin hot ends.
Maybe this could be a secondary search function. First query is a generic search. With the initial search results, a selection of the most prevalent posters on that topic would be displayed. The searcher could then narrow their search to only one or a group of those posters.
A time range filter may be beneficial. If searching for feeder information, I may want to disregard anything older than a year.
Maybe the time ranges could be something like: last 7 days, last month, last 3 months, last year, prior to last year, 2 or more years ago...

I think relevance should also consider:
5. how close the key words are to each other.
About #3. Inverse age of topic.
Once basic functionality is restored I might prefer to be able to sort search results by age.
Also would like to use basic syntax like minus or "not" to ignore terms-words I don't want.
