Subject: bug#65809: [mumi] [wishlist] Allow searching subject prefix

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hello,

IMO is useful to be able to search for "subject:foo", it's a different
search than searching for foo in the body

in file mumi/xapian.scm I read:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

             ;; Index subject and body without prefixes for general
             ;; search.
             (index-text! term-generator subjects)
             (increase-termpos! term-generator)
             (index-text! term-generator text)

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Is it possible to add such a feature please?

Thanks! Gio'


P.S.: I did not Cc: Ricardo Wurmus since AFAIU he prefers not to
continue developing this
