This is just one more reason why the 'search' box (better titled the 'Find' box) should (if there is more than one matching result found) just turn into a Super Search for titles containing the listed words.

Among the other reasons:

• Extra information besides date would be shown
• New nodes would be shown first instead of last
• Searches that match a ton of nodes are handled better:
  • We don't immediately waste resources searching for a huge list of matches
  • So you can see the first many matches more quickly
  • If you want to see even more matches, you can just click "Next"
  • You can instead tell the search to start over with oldest nodes first
  • You get information about how much of the database was searched so far to find these matches
• If the server is unusually busy, Super Search notices and uses even less of the server resources
• We can concentrate on adding features to just one 'search' implementation (such as clustering hits from the same thread)
• You can immediately customize the search in lots ways and try again
• Two words: amoritized depreciation!

And I probably forgot a few.
