Comment (by azaozz):

 7394-4.patch combines 7394-3.patch with
 [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/21688/21688-5.patch
 21688/21688-5.patch] as they are dependent on each other. Closing #21688
 as duplicate/extension of this ticket too.

 The combined patch has some enhancements:

 - Sorting by relevance is only used when there's no explicit ORDER BY set
 for the query.
 - Filter to specify whether the search ORDER BY should look into
 post_title and/or post_content (can be used to disable sorting by
 relevance).
 - Looks at [http://php.net/manual/en/regexp.reference.unicode.php Unicode
 character properties] `\p{L}` to filter out single letter terms but not
 high UTF-8 chars.
