There is a discussion of FTMatchOption as prolog settings, but you don't find out anything about what those match options are for another 20 pages or so. You don't even get a list of what those options are. The minimal fix is to also include the FTMatchOption production in section 2.4 or with the first set in section 3, but I don't think that is enough. Since we have recast the semantics of match options so that mainly that apply to how tokenization and matching is done, I think they can move much further up into section 3. I can see two ways to slice this: (A) right after FTWords and shift the compound query operators to later different major subsection (this is how regular folks tend to think about this: tell me what a basic word query looks like, tell me the bells and whistles on that, now tell me about your fancy compound queries) or (B) flip sections 3.1 and 3.2. I think option A is better, but requires more work. Similarly in section 4: As with section 3, I found myself wanting to know about match options much sooner. Having to wade through all the oddball operators to get to basic match options just feels wrong. Add to that the complication of having to redefine the semantics of what you thought you understood up to that point, and it seems even worse to me. And if you look at what we actually say about match options now, I really don't see a need to postpone them. I suggest moving all of the match options up to right before the section on FTWords, except put the fts:applySearchTokensAsPhrase in that section (the real one, not the dumbed down version). 12409 1 jim.melton 2006-10-12 21:49:14 +0000 One possible editorial change that might make the difficulties somewhat smaller while not requiring major document overhaul is to strategically insert Notes that point people to relevant sections of the document.
