[MTOS-dev] should there be an mtos-general? or (shudder) mtos-help?

I'm guessing here, but I'd assume that the search is based on 
mt-search.cgi or some slight variant, and if that's the case, it's only 
searching entry content (perhaps pages) - one of the problems _with_ 
mt-search.cgi.

For a full-fledged search offering author, date and topic search, then I 
think it needs to look elsewhere.  Unless Brad and company are busy 
coding up a replacement for mt-search.cgi, it's unlikely that the 
MT-based forums are going to offer that...
