Description

If we can know what the tokenized query is, it would be useful for debugging for both developers and users. The tokenizer should also be usable without first creating an FTS index.

Remaining work is tracked in sub-issues:

  • OSS-2007: show tokenized FTS queries in analyze_plan
  • OSS-2008: expose FTS query tokenization in PyLance
  • Expose tokenizer to LanceDB SDKs (lancedb/lancedb#3659)
