I wanted to open up a discussion here about search. I don't have a ton of experience with search algorithms (read none at all). I'll start by dumping my thoughts here.
The first priority for search should be the primary content of fields.
We ought to have simple search operators that allow you to search for certain fields something like, ' author:"Timothy George" title:"new jersey + Census"
We should use the same logic for 'Primary fields' and 'Secondary fields' much like we do in how we present the UI. So the fields that are rendered higher on the page are given higher priority in search.
There's a lot more we'll need to think through and discuss, I just wanted to get the conversation started here.
