\r
66 That's the right one.
\r
68 It's a case-insensitive, non-rooted search specification.
\r
70 This works in a similar way to 'subject:"some phrase"', (though more
\r
71 people seem to be asking about these details for folder: than have ever
\r
72 asked for subject:).
\r
74 This is the easiest kind of searching to get out of Xapian. However, in
\r
75 the future, I would like to enable users to specify rooted search
\r
76 specifications, (whether with folder:, subject:, or any other prefix).
\r
78 That will require a little care to get some additional terms indexed to
\r
79 support the rooting, then the in-development custom query parser to
\r
80 allow mapping symbols like '^' and '$' to these new symbols.
