Our search has been busted since forever, but it's been really busted since the last search related release (there was a bug in opensearch hybrid queries that made all our searches semantic, ie ignoring term matches). Anyway, that's fixed now thanks to @SimpleStacker's PR that made me retest it.
Double thanks to @SimpleStacker, because their PR made us default to showing search results by relevance (which for rare search terms makes more sense than zaprank).
@SimpleStacker also made recent sorted searches a little more forgiving by giving them a gaussian decay which allows for better blending of relevance and recency.
Hopefully search sucks less now.
