Bugs in Swish-e version 2.2

• Character Encodings

  The XML parser (Expat) returns UTF-8 data to swish-e. Therefore, the XML parser should only be used for parsing US-ASCII encoded text.

  8859-1 encodings before indexing and writing properties. Indexing non-8859-1 data may result in invalid character mappings.

  These issues will be resolved soon.

• Phrase search failes with DoubleMetaphone

  DoubleMetaphone searching can produce two search words for a single query word. The words are expanded to (word1 OR word2), but that fails in a phrase query: ``some phrase (word1 or word2) here''

  swish-e query parser is due for a rewrite, and this could be resolved then.

• Merging

  merge.c does not check for matching stopwords or buzzwords in each index.

• ResultSortOrder

  ResultSort order is not used (and is not documented). The problem is that the data passed to Compare_Properties() does not have access to the ResultSortOrder table.
