Yes, it's basically undoable in our setup. Parsing is done separately from the searching, the parser knows nothing of where it came from (it could have come from a drop). Also it is pretty complex, not just a matter of mapping, there is also a lot of cleaning and other special case logic. And the difference in different servers are often more in the cleaning and special casing than in the mapping.
