It's just not possible, because it doesn't support substring searches. But then again, perhaps no one cares. It's not like gmail's search is IMAP compliant either.
if the goal is fast, indexed FTS of dovecot IMAP stores from within a MUA, is fts_solr even helpful? or is it targeted for web interfaces to search ... ?
You can add the break-imap-search option and it'll be helpful with those MUAs that use IMAP SEARCH command (Thunderbird I think, but not Apple Mail or Outlook).
Ok, clear. So, from a MUA perspective ... *IS* fts_solr faster/better/cheaper/whatever than fts_squat?
It _seems_ that squat is fast, _does_ substring searches, and _is_ under your control in dovecot. Life seems simpler, but just as functional, with "just squat".
I'm clearly missing or misunderstanding the "solr advantage" ...
