I am looking for a way to add the month and year to the Advanced Search function. This would search the Authored On date for matching records. This should also allow search by a Category, such as Sports. Even though this seems like a rudimentary thing, it doesn't appear to be a very straightforward thing to accomplish. I have looked and looked, but can't find the solution.

Try Views Exposed Filters
Have you thought of using Views?
You can have 'exposed filters' (Views terminology) for nearly any parameter such as year, month, category etc. Then place your Views display as a box and replace the search box with your new Views based search.
Does that make sense? Do you have any experience with views?
