While I'm not very enthusiastic on backporting all fixes to a 3.4.x branch as the code is diverging significantly, I'm creating the branch at least, to make the option available to evaluate backporting on a per-case basis, especially if anybody volunteers to pick & port the commit. I'm going to apply HSEARCH-744 on such a branch as it was nicely fixed by Mathieu Perez, and it was flagged for a fix in 3.4.1. Sanne
