Does this mean that you are not allowed to send a search before asking explain what is supported? And when you do for example (author:"Levan" or notExistingIndex:"van Veen") does the server give an error message or does it return the hits for author:"Levan" , or does it both?

The clients aren't allowed to send searches for indexes that the server doesn't support. And how does the client know what the server supports? Explain! Ralph
