Subject: [PATCH 3/6] searchview: error description for invalid queries
Date: Sat,  5 Sep 2015 09:01:05 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1441443668-21092-4-git-send-email-e@80x24.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1441443668-21092-1-git-send-email-e@80x24.org>

Xapian may raise exceptions on some queries.  Pass the error
along to the user so they can read Xapian documentation.
