I should also add that search is more linkable now, and can find anything in the same query:
Everything with "ride" in the title (no comments): http://forum.islington.cc/search/?q=ride+inTitle:true
Only events with "ride" in the title: http://forum.islington.cc/search/?q=ride+type:event+inTitle:true
Only conversations with "ride" in the title: http://forum.islington.cc/search/?q=ride+type:conversation+inTitle:true
Only conversations and events with "ride" in the title: http://forum.islington.cc/search/?q=ride+type:conversation+type:event+inTitle:true
Everything with "saddle" in the title: http://forum.islington.cc/search/?q=saddle
You can see on that last one that forums are first in the list, then a conversation, then comments.
A more interesting one: http://forum.islington.cc/search/?q=Shannonball
That's the forum admin as the first result, and then any comment that has mentioned him.
Search is much easier, it's a single search tool, it's faster, it understands English, it is far better at putting the important things at the top.
But yeah... not ideal for exact matches.
