This is now done per:
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/0a357299b7e1f14de6dc070cae64d2163779de9b
star trek t
will do an in:title
search.
star trek f
will do a in:first
post search.
The commit also cleaned up a bit of a mess we had with our advanced search clauses where we were regexes were not bound properly … so in:first_banana
for example used to work just like in:first
which is very strange.
