There are some technical limitations of the xapian query parser (and field processors in particular) that mean we'll probably have explicitly ask for regex expansion. > I would rather have double the db and be able wildcard beginning of > terms.

Maybe you should discuss with xapian upstream the possibility of having xapian support more general wildcards. I have a vague memory of olly once saying it was not out of the question. But I might be wrong about that, it's just a half-remembered IRC discussion. d _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list [email protected] https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
