Search-Tools

Changes for version 0.24

thanks to Henry at zen for prompting the bug fixes and improvements in this release.
fix Data::Dump calls from pp() to fully-qualified.
Snipper->snip() will always return UTF-8 encoded text.
rename Snipper methods snipper_name, snipper_force and snipper_type to type_used, force and type.
document Snipper->type().
fix some off-by-one errors in all the snip() algorithms
fix the debugging code in Snipper
add sanity check fallback to plain() hiliter to persevere if plain regex obviously fails.
add ignore_fields feature
add treat_uris_like_phrases feature
RegExp, RegExp::Keywords, RegExp::Keyword and Keywords are all deprecated in favor of the new, tidier and cleaner QueryParser, Query and RegEx classes. Backwards compatibility is preserved for existing code, but users should move to the new API as documented in Search::Tools. RegExp will carp every time you build() with it.
added new Tokenizer, Token and TokenList XS code for must faster snipping.
added PP versions of tokenizing code, both for benchmarking and comparision. As expected, XS is much faster. The extra speed makes it possible to be more accurate in snippet extraction without sacrificing performance.
