I think it would be a great improvement if UI for title searching could be added now. It’s possible to search by title by adding `in:title` to the search terms, but this is a hidden feature.

Not sure where this should live, perhaps as a tickbox in the advanced search under “Only return topics/posts…” like this:

`[] title matches search terms`
