(feat): improve search feature

The search feature should be improved to include more search results. For example, "edworthy open source" displays no results.

      There are a number of issues with the existing search facility.

      1. By default, the search results provide only entries that have been created within the last 24 hours and there is no option to view entries that are over a year old.

      Therefore I suggest adding a "any time" option and providing this by default.

      1. Search does not allow for simple multiple keyword entrie. As demonstrated within @javanick's original example, if I use the keywords "edworthy open source" then nothing is displayed, even though I (medworthy) have used the term "open source" within several previous posts and blog articles.

      2. No boolean options. As an example, if I wanted to search for content that contains the term "open" but also doesn't contain the term "source" I would expect to be able to use something similar to "+open -source" as part of the keywords / search condition.

      I think that it would be useful to also create a supplementary "advanced search" facility.

      Based upon various search engines (and mainly the "advanced search" functionality that is provided by startpage.com) I have sketched an user interface concept based on this idea.
