<p>Well as you have observed the search is very simple and it just passes the work of to postgres so unless you have some suggestions as to how to make that do what you want there isn't much we can do.</p>
<p>Generally speaking using the API for search is a bad idea and you're usually better off using third party services which specialise in that - we should probably get rid of all the search endpoints really.</p>
