Early[0] implementations of Swish3 for Perl are now available on CPAN. http://search.cpan.org/dist/SWISH-Prog-KSx/ http://search.cpan.org/dist/SWISH-Prog-Xapian/ These Perl implementations offer KinoSearch[1] or Xapian[2] as alternate backend libraries. SWISH::Prog::Xapian should build indexes compatible with the swish_xapian tool that comes with libswish3. Feedback welcome. [0] They are

I want to set a variable number and type of ValueRangeProcessors at run time based on a configuration file. But I seem to be running into (what I think is) a C++ scope issue. I tried just a simple test to see if I could add 5 VPs in a loop. Xapian::QueryParser qparser; Xapian::Query query; int vp = 0; while(vp < 5) { Xapian::StringValueRangeProcessor sproc(vp++);

I'm trying to determine the best way to index facets with multiple values. For example, let's say we have several books and we want an Author facet where one can filter the books by the author. The problem is each book can have multiple authors. Is there a way to index multiple author names into a single value slot for each book? I see there is a Xapian::StringListSerialiser class that

Hi, i'm wondering is there a possibility to do like ABCSok do (http://nyheter.abcsok.no/), to make "Main article" and "Same articles" collapsed to it. Like on http://news.google.com/?hl=en the same thing. "Parent" and "same article on other sites" (they do differ from each other a little bit). Maybe somebody know how to do that thing or where to read

Hi, Is there any php or other web (not cli) front end (same as omega) for Xapian index? I would like to use Xapian for an intranet search portal, and modify the style of it. Many thanks, Omer

Newbie-alert: I'm just getting started on a new project involving a full text search requirement, and my initial investigation points to xapian being the way to go. Two questions: - eventually I'll most likely be indexing towards 50 million documents - is this reasonable to expect or attempt with xapian? - each of my documents come with a set of attributes. These are easily stored

Hi, Trying to learn Search::Xapian and be better at perl at the same time, I'm stuck, at the DB_CREATE_OR_OPEN error. Perl says this: ~/dev/sandbox/Xapian-perl$ ./Index1-Xap.pl 100-objects-v1.csv db "db" is not exported by the Search::Xapian module Can't continue after import errors at ./Index1-Xap.pl line 7. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./Index1-Xap.pl line 7. What I

Hey guys,I am a 3rd year Computer Science undergrad student.I a extremely interested in contributing code to the XAPIAN project. The work you people do sounds extremely fascinating and interesting.Can someone just give me a brief overview of how to proceed ?. I Can code in C,C++ and Python and have experience in Natural Lanuage Processing.Am also quite comfortable with NLTK and using Wordnet.Am

I am working on a system for indexing email, and it would be nice to be able to store multiple values for the same value_no - for instance, if an email has multiple attachments, I might want to attach a value for each attachment, but a value with the same number. One option would be store the three values as one, e.g. comma-separated, but I was just wondering how others have dealt with such a

Hi, I've a problem with the accents. How do I configure Xapian to ignore the accents in the search/indexes? Thanks, Nuno Mariz

hi there, is there an option to exclude child folders when running omindex? For example: omindex -p --db /var/blah/default --url /something /var/www --exclude /var/www/ignore Thanks, Jeff

Hello, Is there advancements in snippeting? (Besides what mentioned in the wiki.) I think extracting snippets is clearly IR task. And I hope Xapian will provide at least helpers to do that. I have set of documents up to 5M of extracted text and 1M in average (they are even bigger pdfs but I pre-extracted text into some sort of text cache, pdftotext is very slow). To parse ~1M documents on the fly

Hello, It's probably quite troll-risky to put a title like this, but did anyone take the trouble to compare Lucene to Xapian and make a list of differences? As I told the list at the end of last year, I'm going to have to integrate an indexing/search engine in the coming weeks or months. It will be integrated to Dokeos, an open-source e-learning application in PHP, and at the moment we

Hi ! I?m newbie with Xapian ! I?m looking for the best way to index json data to be able to search by name/value pair and Full Text Search using only Xapian. I did haven?t success to found a complete or a good documentation about json index and search. Do you know some documentation about ? Another problem that I have is that: In the same name/value pair sometimes I have different data types

In a recent post, someone asked about storing "metadata" in a document. My guess would have been to use add_value. Olly's recommendation was to use set_data. What are the general guidelines for deciding whether to use values or data in a document? Garrett

At wiki page: http://wiki.xapian.org/Omega I added a comment that ht://Dig looks like dead. Does anybody really use it? >From brief glance at docs I had a feeling it is not easy to configure. Maybe better crawler is GNU wget? Mature, stable, maintained? -- Peter Masiar

I have been able to install Starcraft and Swish 2.0 using wine (under Mandrake 8.0) but when I try to run either program I get a "can't load *.dll" error. Both errors are from dll files that the are in the program directory itself. I have attempted to specify these dlls like all of the default dlls in the wine config file but it still can't find them. Anyone know if I have

How about this. Its not as 'swish' as Doug's response, but it might be a little simpler to think about and adapt... # show the test vector > tmp [1] A B C B C A C B A A B Levels: A B C > # create a named vector to store the number of occurences of each level > index <- numeric(length=length(levels(tmp))) > names(index) <- levels(tmp) > index A B C [1] 0 0

I've got about 10,000 docs I'd like to devise a search/index for. I found a perl script called Perlfect that can do that on an old P3 but at the astronomical time of 7 hours. Another script(cgi/perl) at hotscripts can do the same but allows the "rm -rf /" exploit. DoH!? Is there anything perl/flatfile that can search/index faster? This is a nice job for an aging P3 in the
