Right, ^ is a regexp thing and I don't think Xapian supports anything
like it.

I'm not an expert in Xapian's parser, either, but I think `AND NOT'
is appropriate here.  So something like:

	dfn:net/* AND NOT dfn:drivers/net/*

Would be helpful to know if it works for you.
(having NOT only is very expensive and not allowed via the web interface,
but combining it a positive match should be fine)
