Xapian discuss - Feb 2009 - Omega default database

Guys,

I know I can specify default DB with something like DB=db1/db2 in URL 
which works fine.

E.g. http://localhost/cgi-bin/omega?DB-db1/db2

But whatdo i do if the user just enters:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/omega

Is there a way to set db1 & 2 as the system defaults?

I tried playing with omega script by changing $dbname but it only seems 
to work after the first search has passed.

You can use a stub database (briefly mentioned in the overview[1],
search for "stub") that references db1 and db2 as default, i.e. create
a
text file called default with lines

auto /path/to/db1
auto /path/to/db2

or somesuch. Mind you, I only found out by having Olly point it out
after he saw a patch of mine implemnting a glob for default* or
something. I wonder whether it's worth adding to the wiki FAQ (possibly
joint with the question about document ids in these DBs).

Kind regards

T.
