The stemming and case insensitivity just has to do with which terms are
shoved into the database, (you have to add extra terms to get these
features). If we're getting those features for folder now, (and I agree
that we don't want them), it's because we're calling some Xapian
convenience function along the lines of "create a bunch of terms for
this chunk of text".

The fix for that is to do the simple thing and simply break the path at
each '/' and add a term for each component. Then these problems all go
away.

So fixes for this should not require switching from a probabilistic to a
Boolean prefix.
