Hi Henry,

Aside from the application of some patches from Andy Lester and some
basic refactoring work on KinoSearch's C code, there has been very
little development on KinoSearch for the last few weeks. I've just
had too much going on -- the insertion of a week at OSCON into an
already challenging July schedule overloaded me. Hopefully things
will start letting up some this week.

A related issue came up on java-user [at] lucene and it offers
some reinforcement of the solution discussed earlier (subclassing
QueryParser).

Porting chunks of MultiFieldQueryParser is not straightforward,
though, as KinoSearch's QueryParser (hand-rolled parser, tolerant,
simple) is fairly different from Lucene's (grammar-based parser
(JavaCC), finicky, complex).

I had hoped that you would be able to work around your issues using
custom-built Queries. That's not the case, huh? :(

Understood.

Sadly, no. Just too bogged down in project development with limited perl
expertise available.

Will chat to you about this again later.
