Few questions: for the search functions: fuzzy - is this a soundex type search?
Well "fuzzy" is not really well defined. Lucene defines it as Levenshtein Distance, or Edit Distance. In the spec I think fuzzy should just mean "try harder than stemming", so in my eyes soundex would be valid. distance - not sure what this is? Check if two words occur within a given distance (in words) of each other. tracker also supports :
1) RegExp 2) StartsWith 3) LessThanOrEqual 4) GreaterOrEqual will the above be supported also or are they not commonly found in indexer systems?
Well, I think we need a poll or something :-) StartsWith, <=, and >= should probably be standard (?), I don't know about regexp though... I don't think Lucene can do it for instance. Maybe we need a base set of supported selectors, and then have optional ones you can query with a GetExtendedSelectors() method or something. otherwise looking good :) Super. Another thing that is not covered in the current spec is what to do with wildcards. Cheers, Mikkel
