A new approach to string searching

I've sent a mail to the user's mailing list, but didn't get any feedback from the development team.

The mail was:
------------------------------------------------
Hello all,

I'm trying to do something like this:
Iterable<NewsContent> newsIterable = from("n").in(news).where(ne("n.title", "thisworks").and(ne("n.title", "thisworks not"))).select("n");
But it does not work since you can not have spaces in the string "thisworks not".
Any solution for this?

Another feature I miss a lot is the contains method from the String object.
This is something really important for what I'm trying to achieve.
Any idea how to do that?
I don't mind dwelling into Quaere source code, but I would appreciate if someone can point me to the right direction.
------------------------------------------------

We decided to improve this in the source code from the SVN trunk and now we can do something like:

Iterable<NewsContent> newsIterable = from("n").in(news).where(notContains("n.getTitle()", "thisworks").and(contains("n.getTitle()", "thisworks not"))).select("n");

This does not uses the contains method from String since it is case sensitive. We use a regex Pattern instead:

Pattern.compile(Pattern.quote(rightHandSide), Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE).matcher(leftHandSide).find();

You can found in attach a diff with the changes we have done in the source code.
Do you think it is possible to add them to the trunk?

Many Thanks,
