Assuming you mean taking them out of the default search (and not the
legacy search), I'd say take them out.  Make the default search
absolutely straightforward and simple.  I'd still like to see phrase
searches supported because it makes a big difference in results and
the support for the construct is widely expected thanks to Google.
