Change BOI default search parameter?

Apparently, when one does a BOI search, it's default setting is to search the entire post for whatever name you enter in the search field. If someone has been very active on the BOI, it's entirely possible that threads bearing their own name in the title may get buried and not show up in the first several pages of results, if they show up at all, within the default allowance of search results. I think that this could lead someone to miss out on crucial, albeit older, Good or Bad Guy threads.

Of course, the default search setting can be manually changed within the "Advanced Search" function. I'm just thinking that the less tech/forum-savvy newcomers may not know their way around the advanced options, or may even miss the fact that there is an advanced search. Could the BOI's default search setting be changed to "Search Titles Only"? In the general discussion forums, a post-wide keyword search may be more useful. However, on the BOI, where people are more likely to be looking for a title bearing a specific name, that may not be the best option.

If I recall correctly, I don't believe I can select different search order defaults for each individual forum. If that is the case, I can't see where this would warrant custom programming to implement.
