Hi Dave !

Thank you for your answer, i've totally understood the matter and i must 
say that's quite annoying... I guess that you won't satisfy everyone 
with removing this feature, because it really depends on the application 
you wanna run.. Someone running something like a wiki would like to get 
the same results with e-mail and email, that's correct and it's of 
course a good feature, but in my case, i really don't want my query 
"name:package-dev" to send back 'package-foobar-dev' etc... that's a 
really big problem for me.

Actually, i think using different operators calling different parsing 
methods could be a *correct* solution, like "type:e-mail" would match 
email and 'e mail' and "type=e-mail" would only match "e-mail" (in 
regexp: /^e-mail.*/). The '=' operator is quite self explanatory for 
exact pattern matching, so it could be easy to understand...

It could be a way to keep the flexibility of the current search matching 
method, and to include a more strict pattern method for those who needs 
that..

Anyway, Thank you for the solution !
Cheers,
Jeremie 'ahFeel' BORDIER
