Search preview for annotations #353

Open TomRegnem opened 2 years ago

TomRegnem commented 2 years ago

Hi, I have recently started using Qiqqa and I am a huge fan of its many functions, particularly of the search preview. However, I noted search preview does not seem to work when searching annotations. This is a big disadvantage for me as I normally only search my annotations - searching whole OCR-ed documents would generally yield too many hits. Is preview generally disabled when searching annotations? And is there anything that can be done to change this? Many thanks in advance!

Apologies for delayed reply.

Currently, annotations are not included in the Lucene-backed FTS (Full Text Search) database.

Thanks for reporting this as it is a good feature suggestion -- it will take some time (reckon with several months for this to arrive) as I won't be patching the current codebase for this (which uses an older Lucene.NET library) as I'm migrating the codebase towards using SOLR instead. See also #23 et al (#289, #215, #296)

Thank you for your reply. Even if it might take some months, I would be very grateful if it could be included. Many thanks in advance!
