102,Optimisation for freetext search using regexs,kjetil@…,,"I advocated strongly freetext as a deliverable for the SPARQL WG, but there wasn't enough consensus to get it in. Also, my requirements were pretty simple, and did not require the full XPath/XQuery requirements that many others have. I summarised my requirements in the following advocacy
message:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-dawg/2009AprJun/0174.html

The WG (amongst them, a certain 4store developer :-) ) noted that these requirements could be met by transforming the search string to a regular expression in the application layer. Indeed it can. However, no engines are optimized for this and it can potential be
much slower than the built-in free text index.

My feature request is thus that the engine optimizes for certain regular expressions 

If the user search term is ""dahut"", then the regular expression boils down to

\bdahut\S*

I hope this is doable.",enhancement,new,major,,Unknown,1.0,,,
