# OR the terms together into a Xapian query.
#
# One may ask, why OR and not AND?  The reason is that, contrarily to
# apt-cache, Xapian scores results according to how well they matched.
#
# Matches that math all the terms will score higher than the others, so if we
# build an OR query what we really have is an AND query that gracefully
# degenerates to closer matches when they run out of perfect results.
#
# This allows stemmed searches to work nicely: if you look for 'editing', then
# the query will be 'editing OR Zedit'.  Packages with the word 'editing' will
# match both and score higher, and packages with the word 'edited' will still
# match 'Zedit' and be included in the results.

  # is the package name.

  # description
