This strikes me as a rather good idea, but I don't really know that much about cirrussearch in the first place. Anyone know, or have any thoughts on this?

CirrusSearch has so many wonderful keywords for advanced searching: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:CirrusSearch.
Has anybody created an "advanced" search form (a special page) that uses these wonderful options under the hood, to help less sophisticated users? That would make a great addition to MediaWiki. For example:
Enter your search terms: Limit to category: Limit to namespace: (dropdown) Search page titles only (yes/no): Approximate matching (on/off): Search within wikitext source (on/off): etc...
I looked on mediawiki.org but didn't see anything.
Thanks, DanB
