Re: [discuss] [Really last] Why are quoted searches so hard toimplement?

I think the ultimate solution will have the server-side start parsing 
queries that contain quotes, as well as the GGEP extension of quotes.  
For a while we'll send out queries with the quotes stripped out & 
placed into the GGEP portion, so that _some_ results are still sent 
from older clients.  Once a good amount has upgraded, we can shut off 
including quotes in GGEP and just place them into the search itself 
(this can be remotely signaled).   We also can't use any delimiters 
that are also in SearchSettings.BAD_CHARS, because all LimeWires will 
drop those queries.

Once the PATRICIA, Keywords, CharSequence, quotes phrase searching, 
etc... stuff is in, we should also look at merging the XML keywords 
into the main FileManager trie, so that normal searches can search 
against metadata phrases.  The XML stuff should also use real keyword 
matching instead of String.startsWith.

Thanks,
  Sam
