Previously with had `in:title` and `in:first` search shortcuts for
searching in first post or title only. They are a bit of handful to type.
This add 2 shortcuts (t and f) for searching titles of first posts.
This commit also cleans up all advanced filters, they were not properly
regex terminated allowing for weird clauses like `in:firstinator` acting
the same as `in:first`
4481836 introduced accent stipping in search_indexer,
but we need to strip it from the query itself as well
TODO in search with diacritics:
- Still need to fix excerpts on search page
- need to support accent stripping in in_topic search
- need to make sure that in:title works correctly
- need to fix "word boldening" in titles
- By default, behaviour is not changed: tags are made lowercase upon creation and edit.
- If force_lowercase_tags is disabled, then mixed case tags are allowed.
- Tags must remain case-insensitively unique. This is enforced by ActiveRecord and Postgres.
- A migration is added to provide a `UNIQUE` index on `lower(name)`. Migration includes a safety to correct any current tags that do not meet the criteria.
- A `where_name` scope is added to `models/tag.rb`, to allow easy case-insensitive lookups. This is used instead of `Tag.where(name: "blah")`.
- URLs remain lowercase. Mixed case URLs are functional, but have the lowercase equivalent as the canonical.
Introduce new patterns for direct sql that are safe and fast.
MiniSql is not prone to memory bloat that can happen with direct PG usage.
It also has an extremely fast materializer and very a convenient API
- DB.exec(sql, *params) => runs sql returns row count
- DB.query(sql, *params) => runs sql returns usable objects (not a hash)
- DB.query_hash(sql, *params) => runs sql returns an array of hashes
- DB.query_single(sql, *params) => runs sql and returns a flat one dimensional array
- DB.build(sql) => returns a sql builder

Also
- Significantly improved search ranking, title is treated most strongly
- Adds tag names to the index
- Run search re-indexer more aggressively
- Re-index topic and all posts on category change
