Ok. I only ask because I'm considering how to present the Xapian index option in 0.9---the options are to not say anything about it, to force everyone to switch to it, or anywhere in between. > We could fix this by patching Xapian to make this behavior > configurable, or we could come up with an index-agnostic simple query > language that doesn't support boolean operators. The former sounds easier to me. Especially since it seems like this is something Xapian should have... -- William
