Xapian discuss - Mar 2007 - Stemming and field prefixes

Is there a reason that QueryParser does not stem any field-prefixed terms
(like title:singing) even with the stemming strategy to STEM_ALL?  I am able
to work with this behavior in my current situation, but it seems like rather
inconsistent behavior.  I was wondering if there was some reason it treated
these terms differently than the rest.

It does for me.  I used:

    qp.add_prefix("title", "XT");

And query.get_description() gave:

    Xapian::Query(XTsing:(pos=1))

Can you post a sample which demonstrates your problem?
