The search behavior is kind of strange. Its not very well-defined. And I agree with your pain-points.
I would request @evgeny to document - how the search features work internally. And how he likes it to be, as his perception of search results may be different.
From my understanding of Search so far --
The search for string - django 1.5 in search-box gives results having, 'django' or '1.5' searching from question titles only, Its a logical OR.
Think it like Google search results. Its a logical OR, on Question Titles.
But, If you need to search for exact full-phrase, then use double quotes. Like "django 1.5"
Note: Search is a very Important feature, we need to have a community consensus on the details of search.
I'm creating a new question for this now.
