That's the right one. It's a case-insensitive, non-rooted search specification. This works in a similar way to 'subject:"some phrase"', (though more people seem to be asking about these details for folder: than have ever asked for subject:). This is the easiest kind of searching to get out of Xapian. However, in the future, I would like to enable users to specify rooted search specifications, (whether with folder:, subject:, or any other prefix). That will require a little care to get some additional terms indexed to support the rooting, then the in-development custom query parser to allow mapping symbols like '^' and '$' to these new symbols. -Carl -- carl.d.worth at intel.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
