Improve ordering of search results

I've been repeatedly wondering how to search for a user in gitlab, and eventually I decided to check whether an issue has already been opened on this topic. Searching for "user search" in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues provides 448 results, and the ones at the top are not relevant at all (they just happen to contain the words "search" and "user" somewhere).

Google came to help. Searching (worldwide!) for "gitlab issue user search" quickly guides to the relevant issue: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/13672

It seems to me that it should be possible to improve the ordering of results of the various gitlab searches. For example, hits in the title should be more relevant than in the body. If the words that are search for occur close to each other that's another sign of increased relevance. There must be ready-to-use search engines that implement this functionality.
