Hey cool thanks for the link – I didn't realise how much was silently  
supported! The most I had been using was the occasional phrase search  
with double quotes.

Just to confirm; I take it that Xapians prefix maps haven't been used  
so far in the Journal index implementation (i.e. title:Paint,   
description:meeting, or tags:homework)? Point me at rep Sugar source  
if that's quicker (not sure where to look to check this).
