 Xapian Omega 1.2.14, does not index folders, but only files.
 In order to be able to search/find folder by its name, it would be helpful
 if omega would index it.

 Note: I do not propose to index the folder name along every file contained
 in the respective folder, but I am rather thinking about making the folder
 itself searchable, so that if a user would search for words included in a
 folder name, omega would display this folder (not the files contained in
 the folder) in the result list. (i.e. the url to the folder itself would
 be in the results list)

 I understand that not every user of omega would like to index folders
 (e.g. if omega is used to index the pages of a website, it is probably not
 a good idea to provide folders in the result list), but for users using
 omega to index NAS shares (for example), it makes sense.

 Therefore, providing a specific command line switch in omindex to activate
 this feature would probably be required.
