David Caruana commented on CMIS-144:
------------------------------------

That's correct, I think there's value in defining a minimal syntax for foo.

I appreciate the differing implementations and the constraint this may impose. However, as you state, the main use case is limited which requires only a handful of FTS constructs.

If the standardised FTS language were to only include AND, OR, NOT, phrases (quoted terms) and single keywords, can our implementations (which provide FTS) support this subset of capabilities?

If not, then we can't standardise. If so, it shouldn't be difficult to define a syntax, which JCR has already done.

> The text search expression is defined as a <character string literal> (as defined by SQL-92).  However, the syntax and semantics of the full text search expression are repo specific.
> I remember there was some resistance to defining a 'lowest common denominator' full text search language, but I don't remember why.
> Given that we define SQL, and that query is a key use case, I think there's value in a deeper FTS definition.
> As a starting point, JCR provides minimal definition. I'm not sure we would need to much further than that to start with.
