</pre>
      The 'x' directive would report a single hit for the phrases "a" and "c".
      However, the 'y' directive reports the number of hits for "c" as zero, as
      it is part of a sub-expression that does not match the document - (b AND c).
      For queries that do not contain AND operators descended from OR
      operators, the result values returned by 'y' are always the same as
      those returned by 'x'.

<p style="margin-left:0;margin-right:0">
      The first value in the array of integer values corresponds to the
      leftmost column of the table (column 0) and the first phrase in the query
      (phrase 0). The values corresponding to other column/phrase combinations
      may be located using the following formula:

[FTS5 auxiliary functions | available below]. [FTS5 custom auxiliary functions|
Custom auxiliary functions] may also be implemented in C and registered with
FTS5, just as custom SQL functions may be registered with the SQLite core.

<p> As well as searching for all rows that contain a term, FTS5 allows 
the user to search for rows that contain:

<ul>
  <li> any terms that begin with a specified prefix,
  <li> "phrases" - sequences of terms or prefix terms that must feature in a
       document for it to match the query, 
  <li> sets of terms, prefix terms or phrases that appear within a specified

INSERT used to invoke the integrity-check command succeeds. Or, if any
discrepancy is found, it fails with an [SQLITE_CORRUPT_VTAB] error.

<p>This command merges all individual b-trees that currently make up the
full-text index into a single large b-tree structure. This ensures that the
full-text index consumes the minimum space within the database and is in the
fastest form to query.

<p>Refer to the documentation for the [FTS5 automerge option] for more details
regarding the relationship between the full-text index and its component
b-trees.

<p>SQLite [version 3.8.7.4] an unscheduled bug-fix release.  Changes from
   the previous release and from [version 3.8.7] are minimal.

<p>This release fixes adds in a mutex that is required by the changes of
   the 3.8.7.3 patch but was accidentally omitted.  The mutex was not required
   by any of the internal SQLite tests, but Firefox crashes without it.
   Test cases have been added to ensure that mutex is never again missed.
