Xapian discuss - Feb 2007 - Interactive command line interface to Xapian

Just a question that wasn't answered on the Xapian Web site:
has anyone written an interactive, shell-like interface to Xapian for setting
options and running (boolean/proximity) queries?

Not that I'm aware of, but it wouldn't be difficult to write in one of
the bindings languages (probably Python or Ruby would be the best
choices). What sort of commands were you thinking of?

Its easy enough with any of the bindings provided by xapian. I
personally would use tkcon + tcl binding, but any of the others are
equally ok.

Its probably less then 100 lines of code to write something. I usually
just use the tcl binding interactively, its nice enough...
