I'm not surprised. Imagine: /misc /debian/misc If I understand correctly, right now you'd have to say folder:misc and not folder:debian/misc which is not nearly as handy as folder:^misc and at first, a lot of people may not even realize that they need the "and not" clauses. I'd be tempted to consider making folder: searches rooted by default. I wonder how often people really want "all folders named misc"? > That will require a little care to get some additional terms indexed to > support the rooting, then the in-development custom query parser to > allow mapping symbols like '^' and '$' to these new symbols. Sounds good. Thanks -- Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org and @debian.org GPG as of 2002-11-03 14DD 432F AE39 534D B592 F9A0 25C8 D377 8C7E 73A4
