Comment (by Eben):

 Oh, as another note, partial matching is absolutely essential to the idea
 of an incremental search, which is the desired behavior as specified in
 #2644.  I put partial match and case-sensitivity highest on the list for
 required FRS search features.  Solid tag/metadata support follows. Boolean
 logic and fuzziness are lowest on the list.  The former can be added
 anytime; the latter I actually see as a fantastic thing to have by FRS and
 would rather not identify as low priority, but it might take more effort
 to implement than the rest.

 Also, it occurred to me that a title is really just another metadata
 entry, so you can simplify the search into two main components, metadata
 and full text, with the former being the portion which supports advanced
 features such as partial match and fuzziness.

 Finally, note that we require almost the same search feature set within
 the Mesh views, and perhaps even within activities.  It would be great if
 all the work was implemented at a layer where it can be taken advantage of
 across the board.
