Summary: Add test cases for sqlite fts Add support for using the FTS5 full text query engine for sqlite. Also stubbed out some sections for adding postgresql FTS support as well. Added nee indexer type native-fts. It is not selected by default. The indexer=native is used if no indexer is set. This prevents an upgrade from seeming to wipe out the native index if upgraded and indexer=native is not explicitly set. Docs updated. Also changed section headers to sentence case for the current release notes. Indexing backend can control if the full text search phrase is broken into a list of words or passed intact. For backends with query languages (sqlite and can be enabled for whoosh and xapian) we do not want the phrase "tokenized" on whitespace. This also updates the rdbms database version to version 7 to add FTS table. I will be using the same version when I add postgresql. If somebody runs this version on postgresql, they will have to manually add the fts tables for postgresql if they want to use it. Added a new renderError method to client. This allows errors to be reported still using page.html rather than raw html. It also supports templates for any error code. If no template for the error code (e.g. 400) is found, the error in raw html with no page frame is shown. New IndexerQueryError exception to pass back message about query syntax errors.

60 Enhanced full-text search
61 -------------------------
62
63 SQLite's `FTS5 full-text search engine`_ is available. It should work
64 with any recent sqlite3 installation. Any full text search field will
65 allow searching using the MATCH query format described at:
66 https://www.sqlite.org/fts5.html#full_text_query_syntax. A list of
67 words behaves almost the same as the default text search
68 (`native`). So the search string `fts search` will find all issues
69 that have both of those words (an AND search) in a text-field (like
70 title) or in a message (or file) attached to the issue.
71
72 One thing to note is that the fts search does not ignore words longer
73 than 25 characters or less than 2 characters. Also it does not filter
74 out common works (i.e. there is no stoplist). So words like "and",
75 "or", "then", "with" ... are included in the FTS5 search. The native
76 search applies both filters.
77
78 Using SQLite FTS requires a schema change so you should run
79 `roundup-admin -i tracker_home migrate` as the FTS specific tables
80 need to be created.
81
82 Then you must explicitly enable it by changing the `indexer` setting
83 in `config.ini` to `native-fts`. Native-fts is never chosen by default
84 like xapian or whoosh. This prevents the existing native indexing from
85 being discarded if `indexer` is not set.
86
87 Next re-index your data with `roundup-admin -i tracker_home
88 reindex`. This can take a while depending on the size of the tracker.
89
90 You may want to update your `config.ini` by following the directions
91 above to get the latest documentation.
92
93 If you are happy with the fts indexing, you can save some space by
94 removing the data from the native text indexing tables. This requires
95 using the `sqlite3` command to delete the rows in the `__textids` and
96 `__words` tables. You can do this with the following sqlite3
97 commands::
98
99 delete from __words;
100 delete from __textids;
