This is by purpose:
NatSkin's search is definitely simpler. I am not at all a fan of
PatternSkin's approach to
WebSearch:
Search vs Advanced search: who knows what's best to be used
A-Z: this is already there otherwise. See
WebTopicList in
NatSkin
Foswiki's built in search interface does not work very well, i.e. with regards to sorting. There is no way to sort by relevance. Nor does the strict separation of sorting per web make any sense. Thus, in case you are looking for a WebSearch interface that indeed does work and perform well, please have a look at
SolrPlugin. I think that any extra effort on the non-solr WebSearch is lost efforts.
