Dropping by to add another use case that’s hurt by this:

Having forgotten this bug, I just dropped by [talk.jekyllrb.com](http://talk.jekyllrb.com) and searched “3.0 eta”, looking for a topic I knew already existed. This search garnered no results of course, while “eta” got me exactly what I wanted.

The fact that you actually _lose_ search results by including an invalid search term can be pretty detrimental on technical forums where searching for specific versions is not uncommon.
