A term added using Document::add_term() for the purpose of filtering.

Actually, there isn't really a black/white distinction inside Xapian,
but such a term generally doesn't have positional information or wdf
whereas terms generated from "free text" usually do.

You can add the path as a term as well like so:

    doc.add_term("XPATH" + path);
