Hello, I wonder if there is a way to cause Xapian to order a result set purely by docid. In other words, once the result set has been determined, I'd like the results to be returned to me ordered by their docid, as opposed to by their match relevance. The problem at hand is that I'm building a search engine for a mailing list and I would like to return matches sorted by date; ordering by

Hello, is there a way to optimize sorting by certain values for queries which return a huge amount of results? For example, I just want a simple query that gives me the 200 most recent emails out of millions. The elapsed time for get_mset increases as the number of documents ($n * 2000) increases. I suppose I could store a pre-sorted set using SQLite or similar. Thanks in advance for any

Olly and I have been discussing details of our policy for deprecating features, and we thought it would be useful to canvas users opinions on a particular aspect. From time to time, we remove features from the library (usually because we have a better replacement). To make life easier for users, we've been following a deprecation policy, so that users are given plenty of warning of

what is the fastest way to fetch results which are sorted by timestamp ? i want to use xapian as my search engine , use add_boolean_term(something) and add_value(0,sortable_serialise(get_timestamp())) to a doc. search through enquire.set_weighting_scheme(xapian.BoolWeight()) and enquire.set_sort_by_value(0,True) to ensure that the results are sorted by the timestamp. This method is ok , but

I got some performance issue for document.get_data() and enquire.get_mset(). It costs 35 seconds for matches = enquire.get_mset(0,200), and 3 seconds for iterating all doc in matches to get_data. Is't normal? My index contains 30millions documents. I use python binding to operate xapian. Bellow it's my index structure # value: 0:date, 1:site # data: json message which contains: author,

Hi All, I would like to take a doc in the xapian DB and find all related documents by relevance e.g. so when you view one document it says "Related entries X Y Z". I'm aware of the "Morelikethis" Lucene plugin that is supposed to do something like this, by generating a query from a document based on term frequency. Has anyone developed a tool to generate a query from a

In other words, is it possible to avoid duplicates if new documents are inserted into the DB by another process in-between ->get_mset calls when reusing Xapian::Enquire objects? I do some expensive processing on each mset window, so I always limit the results to limit heap usage even if I'm planning on going through a big chunk of the DB: $mset = $enq->get_mset(0, 1000);

Why there still been rank when using Query::MatchAll() ?

Hi everyone, I've searched the mail archives and I haven't been able to find a solution to this. I want to subclass a MatchSpy in the Python bindings and have Enquire use it. However, when I try to do so, I get a TypeError raised. The following example illustrates this: >>> import xapian >>> database = xapian.Database(dbpath) >>> class

Hi there, I have a xapian index whose results are being sorted by a value, with (PHP bindings): $enquire->set_sort_by_value($sort_data_value); This is because I want the results returned in chronological order of publication date. However, I now have a need to have certain results be 'sticky' at the top of the resultset, regardless of their publication date. Obviously there are

Hello, this is a question that could be answered by collaborators of the Ruby bindings. Today I've played around with the Xapian::MultiValueSorter class. I've set everything up and then I tried following on an instance of Xapian::Enquire: : enquire = Xapian::Enquire.new(database) enquire.query = options[:query] : sorter = Xapian::MultiValueSorter.new sorter.add(0, true) sorter.add(1,

Hello list, looks like one can open a Xapian database in read-only mode and do the following: $db = Search::Xapian::Database->new("/foo/bar/"); $enq = $db->enquire("XIDblub"); the same doesn't seem to be possible with a database opened in read-write mode: $db = Search::Xapian::WritableDatabase->new("/foo/bar/",

I would like to write a MatchDecider in C++ and expose it to PHP. I'm able to compile a simple extension and use SWIG to expose a simple function to PHP, but I can't seem to hit upon the right incantation to expose my MatchDecider class. I have a header file declaring my decider, MyDecider.h #ifndef _INC_MYDECIDER_H #define?_INC_MYDECIDER_H #include <xapian/enquire.h>

I'm trying to compact (or at least merge) multiple databases, while stripping search records which are no longer required. Backstory: I've inherited the Cyrus IMAPd xapian-based search code from Greg Banks when he left Opera. One of the unfinished parts was removing expunged emails from the search database. We moved from having a single search database to supporting multiple

Hi, is there a way to get the number of all possible matches for a specific query? Some api call like Xapian::doccount Xapian::Enquire::get_number_of_matches(); Best wishes Wilm
