The search should be coupled with giving precedent to posts that have been rated highly. It may improve the results.

this is true but luckily as virtually all forums here are public you can simply search with Google by appending "site:vbulletin.org" to the end of your search. I use this type of search almost exclusively now on this site- far better than the built in search engine. I would go so far to say vBullein.org should consider adding a google search option on the advanced search page.
