I would be happy to share the code, although it's not really CPAN- =

ready quite yet.   The short version is that implementing things like  =

Range searching and Regular Expressions requires manually walking  =

through the term list, and adding all the terms that match to the query.

It's basically the same way that Xapian's default query parser  =

handles right side wildcarding.  You jump to the point in the  =

termlist to begin, and go until you get past the second condition.

Just for kicks, I've attached the basic class here.  It's taken from  =

part of a larger project, and it definitely has some bugs.  If you  =

decide to improve it, I would love patches.

Thanks!

Adam
