The category search results display as full entries, but the full text results display only the post's "excerpt". For example try: http://wp.osafoundation.org/index.php?s=Cosmo
This compresses the output, but requires the reader to click to expand every entry (sort of like getting excerpts in an RSS reader). But, it has the added benefit of finding every entry with the search string, not just the entries the author tagged with the project category.
Or, as Brian suggests we could make the Status Updates it's own Category and the reader using the category search would have to search twice to get all relevant information on a project. Unless of course if the author were to diligently post information that is included in the Status Updates as a separate postings.
I personally feel ok about giving the Status Updates their own category if we are going to continue them, which I hope we do.

one nit that i have about the status updates on the blog is that they
are assigned to the project categories. that means when i go to look at
the cosmo category page i have to wade through endless paragraphs of
status updates, most of which are not at all relevant to cosmo.
i propose that status updates be given their own category and not
assigned to project categories.
