[db-wg] New free text search for RIPE Database

Hi Hank,

Have you tried using the -i flag on a regular whois query? That should list all objects that reference a specific person in either tech-c, admin-c, zone-c or author.

In the new system, you state that you don't index role or person objects but you also don't index the strings tech-c or admin-c inside inetnum objects for example.  This makes it then impossible to find what objects a person is listed on.  Imagine someone retires and you want to change all his/her objects that list them - it used to be able to be done with the old free text search.  The new one doesn't allow it.
