What is your search results limit, is it really that high (120000)? I highly doubt it because your current search implementation would choke on that number, too, since the part of the script responsible for the search results display already goes through all the returned results.
So I guess you have more reasonable limit to the number of returned search results (around 1000?). At which point going through all of them suddenly doesn't look so bad.

"Search titles only" combined with "show as posts" should search within the titles of the
posts. They happen to be the same as the titles of the threads in the case of a first post in a thread (well, at least in most cases).
Now, the original vB search implementation (non-fulltext one) is following this logic. But vB fulltext implementation is throwing this concept away and searches within the titles of the threads, displaying only first posts in the threads found. I'll let you judge if this is correct or not.
Personally, I, too, think it's too confusing, but it's the legacy of the decision to allow each post to have its own title. Most of the members don't bother to type anything in a post title field when replying, and even if they do, it's completely inconspicuous in the default vB layout (and in the most vB layouts I've seen, for that matter).
But it's there, and it's there for good, so we should bear with it.
*edit*: cool, 100 posts! I'll let it sit there for some time ;-)
