I had always planned on supporting an XML query format, but I never
got a chance to review the XMLQueryParser now in Lucene to see if I
like it. Do you?
Actually I've not yet tried it, only observed the code via commit e-
mails. I like that it allows the query to be specified exactly,
without meta syntax and escaping getting in the way. And it also
supports span queries.
In the back of my mind, I've been thinking about *how* to support
multiple query syntaxes.
trying to add new parameters everywhere specifying the type doesn't
seem like a great idea (way too many places).
It would be nice if the type of the query syntax could be expressed in
the query string itself... no necessity for any new params (although
it wouldn't preclude them).
Something like the way xml does it perhaps?
<?xml...> <BooleanQuery>...
<?surround>the actuall surround syntax
<?qp>foo:bar -baz:taz
foo:bar #default is lucene query syntax
Good point. Yeah, it does make sense for the query type to be part
of the query string itself. There are lots of places that a
QueryParser expression can currently be used (&q=, &fq= with standard
requests, and other places with dismax).
