Hi There seems to be 2 plugins doing the same thins
- https://github.com/slusarz/dovecot-fts-flatcurve/
- https://github.com/grosjo/fts-xapian/ (mine) Both are in the doc of dovecot https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/fts/
I am currently working hard to push it to RPM package, and plugin is already approved by ArchLinux and Debian
Isn't there double work here ? Thanks JM
If you look closer, you can see they are not exactly duplicates. Flatcurve works differently than your plugin.

Is there somewhere a direct comparison of them? I currenty use fts-xapian from Joan without problems. But what would be the advantages of fts-flatcurve over fts-xapian?
fts_flatcurve does only full word searching, although you can use fts_filters and fts_tokenizers settings to affect stemming and other matching to make it work with plurals and such.
Both plugins have their merits.
