[Xapian-discuss] Searching in different fields

[Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann]

Hmmm ... i am not shure, but perhaps you can use a hack:

enter the username many times :)

smaarten3 =>
XUsmaarten3, XUmaarten3, XUaarten3, XUarten3, XUrten3, XUten3, XUen3, 
XUn3, XU3

for one field with termlength ~ 10 digits it should be userfull.
Perhaps you must use a speciall prefix like XUS for the short notations.

i dont know how you get this feature with omega :(
i dont know this is a good way *g* Olly? :)
