Dear FoxTrot-Search customers,
Welcome to the first public beta of FoxTrot Professional Search 6.5, FoxTrot Search Server and FoxTrot Personal Search.
This release has been extensively tested in-house and we feel it is ripe for beta testing with our most dedicated users, which is why you are receiving this (as a member of the foxtrot-discuss Google group)
If you are using FoxTrot Attaché Search on iOS and would like to use it with the updated format index, please email us your device UDID (click on Serial Number in iTunes, the right-click to copy it) and we will include you in a 6.5 attaché test build next week.
As usual, kindly report back on here or using our reporting form:

THANK YOU !
The FoxTrot-search team
at CTM Development SA

What’s new in 6.5b1 (from version 6.0.4):
Note: Version 6.5 introduces an updated index format. Indices created by version 6.0.4, and used without updating with version 6.5, should remain compatible if you revert to version 6.0.4
However if you rebuild your index with version 6.5, you will need to rebuild it again in version 6.0 if you revert / downgrade to version 6.0.4
▾ Increased performance
Some advanced searches are now faster
Long searches now display a progress indicator at the bottom of the result list instead of the indeterminate spinning indicator
Long searches can now be aborted, by clicking the progress indicator at the bottom of the result list
A new faster compression format (zstandard) is used, both for the index file and for the network traffic of the shared indices and for FoxTrot Server. Note that when rebuilding an index, its size may shrink a bit, due to the fact that zstandard will learn from the previous version to optimize compression.
▾ Feature enhancements
[PRO] Added some very precise date, filename, and content filters. Regular expression searches are now performed from the filters only (in addition to the FoxTrot Query syntax)
[PRO] When a found document is opened in a separate document window, the search field's menu now shows additional options for “exact strings” and “regular expressions” searches (e.g. case sensitivity).
[PRO] Changed the FoxTrot Query syntax for searching documents not containing a given regular expression (-`expression` instead of !`expression`)
Replaced curly quotes by straight quotes in the search field, to conform to the FoxTrot Query syntax
▾ Client/Server enhancements (FoxTrot Pro multi-user and FoxTrot Search Server)
When connecting to a FoxTrot Server (or shared FoxTrot Pro) with multiple indices, concerning files on the same shared folder, and this shared folder is not currently mounted, then only prompt the user once about mounting the shared folder or not
Added “reset saved login information” item in the “servers” toolbar menu, to clear any remembered login and password for a connected FoxTrot Server or shared FoxtTrot Pro index
Added a contextual menu to the Search Sources list, to removed manually added FoxTrot Servers.
▾ Miscellaneous enhancements and other fixes
An alert "your registration code is currently used on another computer" could appear when the other Macs use a different registration code
In some cases, when searching multiple indices simultaneously, some excerpts could be missing in the result list, or some excerpts could belong to another document
