Hello :-) There was probably no good reason to do this build but the Debian 6.0 Squeeze repo version was 1.2.3, we needed 1.2.4 and I didn't think of using the package from unstable. Arch: x86_64 Platform: Linux 2.6 Debian 6.0 (Squeeze) Compiler: gcc version 4.4.5 (Debian 4.4.5-8) Version: 1.2.4 Status: no known problems Source: http://oligarchy.co.uk/xapian/1.2.4/xapian-core-1.2.4.tar.gz

Hi, I was researching indexing of text in omindex and scriptindex. While indexing text with omindex.cc possition of terms is saved with gap. This is not happening with scriptindex.cc While this is happening ? Another question is why in omindex.cc the term possition starts with 0 while in scriptindex it starts from 1 ? Code snippet from omindex.cc // Add postings for terms to the document

Hi all, I´ve been developing a search application using Xapian and Omega. When our visitors search on specific keywords it´s noticable that Omega is case sensitive. It will find results on keyword `Asus´ and it will NOT find results on keyword ´asus´. I´ve been looking through the documentation to find a CGI param to turn this

Hi All, I've installed Xapian and the php module. I've set up a script for use with scriptindex and dbi2omega for getting data from the db into the index easily, the script file is as follows: =============================== id : field=id title : index title: field=title description : index description : truncate=50 field=content ============================= However, when querying

Hi, I'm experiencing weird behaviour in Xapian/Omega. Here's my situation: * I'm indexing data through scriptindex, the output is as follows: ***************** Replace: 6706476 Replace: 6706477 Replace: 6706478 ***************** Since there is no output after entering several enters, I assume scriptindex is indexing data. * The search I perform on omega is as follows:

OK, I'm indexing my data with the scriptindex. I want to be able to restrict the search by the category field. Do I need to do anything to the data itself? Like, literally prefix it with the characters "XC"? Below is my indexor for scriptindex and the my php code... document_id : field=ref unique=Q boolean=Q search_id : field=document_id index=S document_title : field=title

Hi people I'm running Xapian (1.0.9) and more specifically omega to index a few different databases. After the databases are first indexed (by user A), the dirs get chmod'ed to 0777 to allow user B full access to them. Even after the indexing is done, the file "flintlock" still exists in all database dirs. It's owned by user A (perm: -rw-------). When user B wants

Hi, I've tried to follow all helpful tips I've found in the mailing-list and I've applied these two utf-8 patches; http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.search.xapian.general/2324 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.search.xapian.general/1927 Now the QueryParser works as I wants it to do, and creates the terms correctly. But sadly I can't find any documents. If I do this; $ quest

I use Omega to index and search an archive of magazine and ebook pdfs etc. I also have a Wiki (in MediaWiki) that I wanted to include in that index too. If it's any use to anybody, I've adapted dbi2omega to export the pages from MediaWiki and shared it on GitHub - search for mediawiki2omega. It doesn't do anything very clever, but it might save someone time figuring out the

I am fairly confident that these issues are related to killing the scriptindex process ungracefully causing blocks that were queued for writing to disk to not get written. I mention to send you the file because it could be that you would see almost immediately with the situation is. Thanks > ----- Original Message ----- > From: oscaruser@programmer.net > To:

Hi everyone, I tried sending a message as a reply a while back on my previous topic, but it didn't go through. (Tried Gmane), not even when I 'authorized' the reply. So I'll just paste it here for reference, below this message. It might help some people. But now I have one other small problem, and I'm not sure if it is actually my mistake (although I'm pretty sure it is

Hi I am a beginner with Xapian. I am trying to use scriptindex but I get some problems : 1) If my script file is empty I have an indexation by default, and I get two output fields when I am using quest.exe (These fields are caption and sample) 2) I then tryed to not use an empty script file defining this time my own fields, but if I use quest to perform researches these fileds does not appear in

James, thanks for the explanations. I misread the notes. As an exercise, I'm trying to convert an existing project that currently uses Scriptindex and Omega to direct Xapian API calls. I did a (I think) complete dump of a document with delve -r 565 -d database and I see things like subject='A typical subject' with a corresponding set of terms like Sa Stypical Ssubject Which

In current Xapian SVN HEAD, there is a bug in the query parser concerned with the handling of wildcard terms with a "+" prefix. Specifically, a query such as "+foo* bar" will be parsed by the query parser into Xapian::Query("bar") if there are no terms in the database which start "foo". Instead, since the "+" term cannot be matched, I believe

Hi, I've been disappointed today with some of my Xapian results. Here is the issue : - I am searching for the terms "ipod vid?o 60" (with the OR operator) - the first results sorted by relevance are : (name / description) 1. Etui en cuir Shinnorie EZgoing pour iPod avec vid?o 60 Go - Blanc Etui en cuir Shinnorie EZgoing pour iPod avec vid?o 60 Go - Noir - With the SA1

Hello, I'm trying to index some blog stuff through python bindings. I'd like to know how to add some informations (url, title, date, and so on) so that I can reach them through a xapian.Enquire object.. I believe it's something to be set in xapian.TermGenerator(), but... I can't manage to find which function. I'm waiting for something like : xtermgen.add_meta('url',

Lately I was reading many articles about using boolean queries for search engine but I haven't seen any complete working demo. Therefore I put together very simple working demo of search engine using boolean query. Feel free to suggest any performance improvement or error while keeping it as simple as possible for understanding. Thanks, -Kevin Duraj http://myhealthcare.com

I've now got working (but not necessarily policy compliant) debian packages for xapian-core, the xapian python bindings, and omega and omindex. I will be sorting out a public apt repository of these shortly. Is it appropriate to add the debian control files (ie, those files in the debian directories in CVS) to the distribution tarballs? I think yes - they don't take up much space,

Hi, I'm confused about my licensing obligation with respect to the Xapian SWIG bindings. I've got a python wrapper that sits above the standard Xapian Python/SWIG bindings, and I wasn't sure if the *intent* of the Xapian team is that my python wrapper - and any code that also uses my wrapper also falls under GPLv2. It seems unclear if the FSF's position on dynamic linking in
