Full Text Search Ignore Option

Hi,

I just noticed that BaseX doesn't support the Full Text ignore option ("without content"). Are there any plans to add support for it?

Best regards

Hi Michael,

currently, no (this may change if we find enough people willing to sponsor this feature).

Best, Christian

Thanks for the quick reply. I've added this information to the documentation to make it easier to find. If you need it, it's a real show-stopper: Text containing footnotes or other embedded annotation (typical for TEI documents) is effectively not searchable.

I'll thus probably have to abandon BaseX, which is a real pity, because otherwise it's really great.

What's worse, the competition also has many drawbacks: MXQuery is not a complete database and seems to be unmaintained; Qizx claims to support the ignore option, but it otherwise doesn't look really convincing to me; Sedna doesn't support Full Text at all; eXist's Lucene-based full text index seems to have the features I need, but it uses proprietary XQuery extensions for full-text search, not the Full Text Recommendation.

Best regards
