Some very good suggestions indeed, footpad.

1.Date Range fields, for locating nodes posted during a set of time.
Though I never felt the need for this, it might be useful.

find relevent nodes posted by merlyn
I just know I would use this :-)

An Order By field similar to the one that currently appears in PM User Search
Since I never get the hang of the order that article appear in when I use Super Search this is definitely a feature I miss.

A category field that restricts the search to a specific monastery area
That is the one feature I miss most
