Search issue queue - dig in!

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

This is a list of issues in the D7 issue queue that pertain to search. They've been vetted and confirmed to be real issues. They cover the entire spectrum, from advanced feature requests to bugs to theming issues. This is a great place to start your quest to make search in D7 a better thing. The table should be re-organized a bit. We should sort it into bugs and features, and make some priority judgements. Remove rows as issues close.

It's kind of a mess, but at least the current issue statuses are there: http://drupal.org/node/366930

Could use someone with knowledge of this stuff to go through and clean it up. Separate with headings, etc. to make it clearer to people how to dive in.
