Thanks for the quick reply. I've added this information to the documentation to make it easier to find. If you need it, it's a real show-stopper: Text containing footnotes or other embedded annotation (typical for TEI documents) is effectively not searchable. I'll thus probably have to abandon BaseX, which is a real pity, because otherwise it's really great. What's worse, the competition also has many drawbacks: MXQuery is not a complete database and seems to be unmaintained; Qizx claims to support the ignore option, but it otherwise doesn't look really convincing to me; Sedna doesn't support Full Text at all; eXist's Lucene-based full text index seems to have the features I need, but it uses proprietary XQuery extensions for full-text search, not the Full Text Recommendation.
