Well, right now, the search field is only a... field. Implementing such a 
change would require a whole search page... I don't think anyone would want 
to pollute the bare-bones page with more fields if they're of no use 90+% of 
the time.

A search page would make sense, I guess, since the date criterion is not the 
only one that you could use... But what other criteria would be useful? And 
then, if a search page is implemented, what of the current dropdown list? 
Drop it altogether and put a "Search commits..." link instead?

I'd love to have a link to these patches, honestly. "Our" commit messages are 
poor enough that more often than not, the whole commit message is, for 
instance, "fix bug #xxxx". While I push hard for more explicit commit 
messages, this is just a pipe dream and that link to Bugzilla is vital to 
us...
