[Xapian-discuss] Hyphen search with parse_query()

[Michel Pelletier]

He provided it to you, you use the Query() constructor to add a "raw"
term to your query.  You can use this in conjunction with the query
parser:

Query(Query.OP_AND, query_parser.parse_query(your_query_string),
Query("ssh-add"))

insert the operator of your choice.

On a related note, long ago I had used the pyparsing library to create
a simple query language for my xapian work at the time.  Since then,
the xapian query parser and my knowledge of it has improved such that
it was no longer necessary.  Maybe it would be useful to open a
discussion on a query language, and use a simple tool like that to
spike out a new prototype language that could be used to improve the
next generation of the query parser.
