As I mentioned[0] some years(!) ago on this list, version 3 of Swish-e (Swish3) will offer Xapian as one backend. A few weeks ago I announced[1] that Swish3 is now at the stage in development where there is a fairly stable indexer/searcher using Xapian, both in C++ and Perl. I wanted to mention this development here in case there were interested parties, particularly folks who might want to contribute. There is a dev site[2]. Swish3 is similar to Omega, but as I have outlined[3] on the Swish-e list, it offers some different features, notably robust XML parsing using libxml2.
