5149	Search everything (or almost everything)	ryan	anonymous	"Extend search to include pages and other things.  The more comprehensive the better, limited only by performance considerations.  Care will need to be taken when including pages in the search results since themes that display full post content may break. Putting a filter that strips tags from page content returned in search results would suffice.  The search should be as hookable as possible to allow customization via plugin.

Possible things to search on:

 * Post title, content, excerpt, author, tags, categories
 * Page title, content, excerpt, author, tags, categories
 * Comment content, author
 * Post/page meta fields

Features that would be nice to have:

 * Order search by relevance
 * Excerpt relevant areas of content, search engine style
