[Xapian-discuss] Z's and other prefixes

[David]

Hi,

I've been playing around with xapian, and I have a couple of questions.

I know that QueryParser and TermGenerator are matched in the way they come up
with terms, based on stemming and all that. They prefix "Z" to the start of a
stemmed word.

I'm trying to come up with a solution to index and retrieve exact documents
based on their names. And I was thinking that I may use my own prefix to make
sure that page comes up as 100% (or at least on the first page).

Does anything else use prefixes? I haven't played around with the DateRange
things, but do they use specific prefixes?

I don't want to conflict with an existing prefix. I also may use a
multi-character prefix to avoid subsets and other things.

Cheers.
