Well, the whole point is that I need to add a "search grammar" to the
search text field the user sends (supporting AND, OR, double quotes, etc.)
So if I have a structured query, I would simply use CTS.

The point is precisely to parse such a string.  And also to get the
snippets. Hence the try to switch to the Search API.

But if it is not possible to configure several elements for the
un-constraint terms, I guess the solution is rather to implement and parse
my own grammar, and generating the snippets using CTS... :-(
