Using wp_query to search excerpt

[relish27]

Is this possible? I would have thought it would be... but I'm not seeing it.  There doesn't appear to be a way to search by the post_excerpt in the wp_query documentation (http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query).  

I am using the "s" search parm and in this case was thinking it was also searching the excerpt.  But it's not. So then I thought I could just add the excerpt in my wp_query filter. But I'm not seeing how.

Am I just missing something simple?  Or is this just not possible with wp_query?

Search Everything does it, so it must be possible:

Use that, or look at the source code to find out the secret sauce ;-)

Yep, I've used that for normal searches, but this is a more custom scenario. Guessing maybe they use their own sql query,  which I could do but wanted to use wp_query  if I could.
