Package: libsearch-queryparser-perl (0.95-1)

Perl module to parse search query strings into a data structure

Search::QueryParser parses search query strings into a data structure to be handled by external search engines.

The query string can contain simple terms, "exact phrases", field names and comparison operators, '+/-' prefixes, parentheses, and boolean connectors.

The parser can be parameterized by regular expressions for specific notions of "term", "field name" or "operator" ; see the new method. The parser has no support for lemmatization or other term transformations : these should be done externally, before passing the query data structure to the search engine.
