Extensibility of the search system, and the ability to continue extending it even when third party clients exist that do not keep pace with the featureset of Microcosm.
Besides, text processing is cheap and we'd have to make sense of the query anyway.
Oh, and you can use querystring if you want to, but we'll normalise the query to a single form:
http://forum.islington.cc/search/?q=ride&inTitle=true
is the same as:
http://forum.islington.cc/search/?q=ride+inTitle:true
It also means that clients can get away with having a single search box or an advanced search page with lots of fields. Both will do the same thing.
