^^^ FTS input is being tokenized, so the phrase "/home/johndoe/render.php" will be indexed not as a full string but instead separately as "home", "johndoe", "render", and "php". See: https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/plugin/fts-plugin/#plugin_setting-fts-fts_tokenizers This has nothing to do with flatcurve (or any FTS driver) - Dovecot will never send the full "/home/johndoe/render.php" to the driver to be indexed. > fts_autoindex = no > fts_enforced = yes > > A search command like this: > > doveadm -D search -u j...@doe.com mailbox INBOX SUBJECT > "/home/johndoe/render.php" > > should show the messages with subject: "CRON: /home/johndoe/render.php OK" > but produces a lot of extra undesired results and I think the second line in > this debug output indicates the reason: > > May 23 07:44:13 doveadm(j...@doe.com): Debug: fts-flatcurve(INBOX): Query > (hdr_subject:/home/johndoe/render.php*) matches=0 uids= This is correct, since "/home/johndoe/render.php" was not indexed so there should be zero results. > May 23 07:44:13 doveadm(j...@doe.com): Debug: fts-flatcurve(INBOX): Query > (hdr_subject:php* AND hdr_subject:render* AND hdr_subject:johndoe* AND > hdr_subject:home*) matches=272 And this is also correct, as the search phrase is attempted by searching both its full string and also all of its tokenized components. (Both the original text and all search terms are processed through the tokenizer before passing to a FTS driver.) > I tried rebuilding the indexes with "fts_flatcurve_substring_search = yes" > too but that didn't change anything.

I'm not a lucene expert... but with the old lucene plugin, you were almost certainly using it without Dovecot tokenization support, since the plugin predates it (I think) - using Dovecot tokenization would have required 'use_libfts' to be present in the fts_lucene setting (which I doubt was ever documented). I believe Dovecot was just doing simple white-space tokenization instead, so lucene code/library was likely receiving the full string and doing internal tokenization. michael _______________________________________________ dovecot mailing list -- dovecot@dovecot.org To unsubscribe send an email to dovecot-le...@dovecot.org
