I’m often in the situation where I only want to search for topics that have certain words in their title.
So, it would be great if there was a search modifier that allows me to search only within topic titles (something like title:search text).

Keep in mind title matches are always prioritized. One issue I need to fix is that we are using the snowball stemmer which completely sucks compared to say ispell or something smarter, so it does a fair bit of messing with results.
Fine to add an advanced filter, but not sure it is needed cause we already show title matches first.

My user case is that I need to find all topics with “Meeting” to add them a tag, searching on topics content will return me also false positives

Only advice I have is pay attention to the tokenizer, as I’m fairly certain that is something you’ll be utilizing.

Hey I’d like to work on this. Is that ok @pmusaraj? I wouldn’t like to overlap with your stuff if you have something in the works.

Per @jorge_manrubia this is now implemented. I pushed the change here:
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/86d12bd44bb23767958364743a2afdf064331c81
Note: the UI is not updated yet, we are going to wait a few betas.
Keep in mind, this change will slowly appear on your forum after the update. We will update the search index for 20k posts every 2 hours to gain the new feature. If you feel like rushing it:
./launcher enter app
rake search:reindex
A rushed reindex is running on meta right now.
