</div>The current search implementation is a trade-off between the complexity you<br>
would like to have and useful results for arbitrary, inelegant term lists.</blockquote><div><br>ok, yes my use case is being able to look for several words with AND and/or OR,<br>if searchable_text is a field with all text the package has:<br>
<br>search('nose AND plugin')<br><br>--- which in my mind would result in something like:<br><br>select distinct package_name <br>from package<br>where searchable_text like '%nose%' AND name like '%plugin%'<br>
<br>But i guess it can be rather complex, and Noah's trick fit my needs :D<br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

Your pseudo-code omits an important feature - the scoring of the result based<br>
on the type of match.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>Ok. <br><br>semi-related: looking at the code, I think query_packages can be called just once<br>per term, then the score calculated for each column on the results. That would<br>lower the number of queries (1/3).<br>

Perhaps the scoring could be altered such that hits on more than one term in<br>
the same field result in a higher score?</blockquote><div><br>if it is doable, that would be nice,<br><br>Maybe we could have an advanced search screen that would take care of asking<br>the user which field the term refers too (like roundup) ?<br>
