Re: [Exist-open] New range index and matches()

[Wolfgang M. <wol...@ex...>]

Dear Andreas,

> Now, reading up on the ("new") range index, the page https://exist-db.org/exist/apps/doc/newrangeindex says "fn:matches is currently not supported due to limitations in Lucene's regular expression handling. If you require fn:matches a lot, consider using the old range index." Is this still the case?

Yes, but you could try the special function range:matches instead of fn:matches and see if it works for you. It supports only a subset, but in your case, this might be sufficient?

Best,

Wolfgang
