I'll take a look but suspect that this won't change for 2.0, due to
the performance penalty

Um. are you sure you're doing a clean install? It has one on all of my
test boxen

The various things you can search on get ANDed together.
Within a given field, 'one-of-many' values, such as lists and dates
get anded togehter and the fuzzier matches like ticket content, subject and 
requestor get ORed together.

The search interface is far from ideal, but it's better enough than RT1.0
that it's settled for now. One of the things I'm looking at for 2.2 is 
redoing ticket searching from the ground up.

Not for 2.0.  I'll look at this for a future release

Correct.  Those rights are for users to be able to make themselves Ccs and 
administrative Ccs.  Users who can ModifyQueueWatchers can 
add anyone they want as a Cc or Administritive Cc.

Just added this to my codebase

I suspect that's there because you installed over an old development snapshot.
It's not in the current tarballs.
