Most input boxes have different heights and widths. It is not very nice to see.
In the image below it is not clear how the voices were divided. “Only return topics/posts” seems to be part of the list instead of being the title of a new section.
It is difficult to understand why three items are with a check box and others are in a dropdown menu.
Not all the items in that menu are mutually exclusive.
E.g., I cannot automatically search a topic that I read, I liked, is a wiki and include images. The only thing that I can do is a search adding the options manually.

I tried an alternative where there’s a separate focused view for advanced options, but I think there are more downsides than advantages (you might scroll a little less, but you also lose some context and have to tap an additional time).
Here is something I’ve wanted to mention for a while: I’d like to have a second “search” button at the bottom of the advanced options. I just can’t get used to having to go back up to submit my search, after I filled in the advanced criteria.
Would the advanced search default to being on the right sidebar, even after performing a regular search? If so, I think that’s a great idea, as it would surface the incredibly advanced search options of Discourse more easily.
I feel we are rushing here with the “New Topic” button, we should display it at the bottom of the list of results. The intent there is that your search failed so go for it create a new topic, but now we don’t even ask you to read through results. This will probably also get rid of a row which balances this a bit more.
everything you have proposed.
