- Retr0id 4y agoRead what I said. They can use the standard index, then filter the results as a last pass.

- mkl 4y agoI did read what you said. Imagine trying to search for [::] as 8192kjshad09- suggested earlier in the thread. What standard index results are you going to filter? Since "[::]" isn't in the index, you won't have anything to go on. To do your back-tick really-verbatim searches, the index has to be enlarged.
- Retr0id 4y agoAh, sorry, I see what you mean.
