Package: apt-xapian-index Version: 0.40 Severity: wishlist Hello,
a useful new self-documentation feature would have plugins to provide information about what term prefixes they generate, similarly to how they provide information about values. The description should have: - prefix (e.g. "XT"); - queryparser prefix (e.g. "tag:"); - a short description (e.g. "Tag from Debtags"); - optionally, a long description on how to use it, example use cases and so on; - if useful, also whether this should be used as a boolean prefix or a probabilistic prefix (see [1]). The documentation generator can then use them to: - autogenerate the list of terms provided by each plugin, which is now handwritten in the plugin description; - generate a /var/lib/apt-xapian-index/prefixes file, similar to /var/lib/apt-xapian-index/values, with a summary of all prefixes found in the database: this can be used by developers as well as by query software to automatically setup the various prefixes[1] in their QueryParser objects.
