as of dovecot v1.1.2, squat's required for IMAP compliance; solr search breaks it. is that still the case in v1.2? Is IMAP-compliant Solr search possible? planned?
It's just not possible, because it doesn't support substring searches. But then again, perhaps no one cares. It's not like gmail's search is IMAP compliant either.
if the goal is fast, indexed FTS of dovecot IMAP stores from within a MUA, is fts_solr even helpful? or is it targeted for web interfaces to search ... ?
You can add the break-imap-search option and it'll be helpful with those MUAs that use IMAP SEARCH command (Thunderbird I think, but not Apple Mail or Outlook).
