Xapian discuss - May 2009 - Updating existing documents

hi,

this maybe a very newbie question, but couldn't find it in the docs; 
I've built my spider and run it a few times, but every document is now 
in the index multiple times. While there is a get_id on Documents, I can 
see no set_id; how do I tell it that it's indexing an existing doc when 
I index a document?

Greetings,
Ivo

Use replace_document() instead of add_document() - this allows you to
specify the id.
