  Description     : Dovecot full text search plugin using the Xapian search engine

This is a Dovecot FTS plugin to enable message indexing using the
Xapian Open Source Search Engine Library.

This driver supports match scoring and substring matches, which means
it is RFC 3501 (IMAP4rev1) compliant (although substring searches are
off by default). This driver does not support fuzzy searches, as there
is no built-in support in Xapian for it.

Note that fts_flatcurve has been merged into dovecot core April 2022:
https://github.com/dovecot/core/commit/137572e77fdf79b2e8d607021667741ed3f19da1

It will be the default dovecot fts driver.  So this is probably
an issue for the dovecot team.
