Hmm. This looks promising. My search.php is so old (we're still running 3.6.2+patches), that I don't have that bit of code in mine. I'll have to see if I can get 3.6.8's running on our install.

I've found a minor bug.
I've gotten this up and running, but searches on my site for say.. "Kyle" also pull up posts for the user "Kyle=agglicious".
I'm also seeing really weird results when searching for all threads by users, but I have yet to track the source of the problem down.
