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).
Ok, clear. So, from a MUA perspective ... *IS* fts_solr
faster/better/cheaper/whatever than fts_squat?
Depends on what type of search query the user used.
It _seems_ that squat is fast,
Is it? With my mails it seems to be pretty slow when updating the
index. I've been thinking of some way to redesign it because of that.
_does_ substring searches, and _is_
under your control in dovecot. Life seems simpler, but just as
functional, with "just squat".
I'm clearly missing or misunderstanding the "solr advantage" ...
Squat also uses more disk space than Solr, I think.
