I believe it does--furthermore even if it didn't, it would be easier to fix the bug than in the old parser.cc. Anyone who wants my start at htsearch-new.cc can have it. It still needs some work, notably taking the results and feeding them to Display.cc. So far I haven't tackled the issue of collections either. The work shouldn't be bad and I'd be glad to give pointers. However it does need *hours*, which are in short supply in my life right now. Anyone interested in taking a crack at this? I can promise the result will be *much* more flexible searching in the short and long term. Search performance will also ultimately improve significantly. -Geoff |
