...with python that looks a little like this: # Some code that sets up the queryparser (stemming, for instance). # See the getting started guide for a complete example. # ... # S = Subject. Note that you can't use a keyword argument for default_prefix, so we have # to provide the flags as well. title_query = queryparser.parse_query(querystring, xapian.QueryParser.FLAG_DEFAULT, "S") Then you need to use OP_SCALE_WEIGHT, as you've identified, to apply the different weightings to the queries parsed against the two fields. weighted_title_query = xapian.Query(xapian.Query.OP_SCALE_WEIGHT,...
