I attempted to use the sortable_serialize function from perl, however doesn't seem to exist. The only occurrence of the string "sortable" in the /usr/local/perl/5.10.1/Search/ tree is in the pod in Xapian.pm. What am I doing wrong? use Search::Xapian; ... $doc->add_value(4,sortable_serialize($recdate)); Undefined subroutine &main::sortable_serialize called

Xapians, I am maintaining about two indexes for my search engines which approximately is each the same size. I would like to share this knowledge with you, since many of you have never seen Xapian index of this size. And of course you can search the index by yourself at - http://myhealthcare.com/ - http://find1friend.com/ I need 2 x 100 million more documents into each index, and I hope it will

Hello, i switched from one big index to a stub file with many indexes and running into a problem. i have a tool to fetch a random document via: get_doccount random id up to get_doccount get_document with that id after changing to stub file this failes. Is there a nice way to get a random document from a stub file? ?MfG? Felix Ostmann

Installation was OK and all works well, but this warning is bad :-/ tried 15 min to find the failure (there is no failure) ... $ perl Makefile.PL XAPIAN_CONFIG=/root/build/xapian-core/bin/xapian-config PREFIX=/root/build/Search-Xapian Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good 'XAPIAN_CONFIG' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name. Writing Makefile for Search::Xapian $ perl

I am working with version 1.2.7 and want to use stemming and synonyms. I use the perl-bindings and get some problems. First of all: the perl-bindings dont allow the QueryParser a third argument when calling parse_query! So i cannot set a default prefix (which perhaps is the solution to my problem, but later more) i have a simple testcase: 3 documents, every document only has one word:

Hello, I am looking for a documentation or an example to use the synonym function. I tried this db.add_synonym("omega","xapain"); and this works by adding the flag FLAG_AUTO_SYNONYMS. If i try to use the db.add_synonym("omega","xapain is search engine "); it fails why? Can xapian use synonym for Abbreviations like MBA => Master of business

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

I have a xapian-daemon, which can be queried via http. A background-process generated every hour one new index and then remove and create a new symlink to the current database. /path/to/index/20120419010000 /path/to/index/20120419020000 /path/to/index/20120419030000 /path/to/index/default => /path/to/index/20120419030000 So the daemon only check the mtime of /path/to/index/default/iamchert

Greets, I've been wondering, what's the sane/optimal use of xapian-compact when merging many indexes with a view to maximum merging performance? The obvious: - only use -F on the final db. - use -m since I'm merging more than 3 dbs. Best strategy? a) loop: merge batches (of say 50, where the individual db's are small) into a temp index, then merge the (larger) temp into the

Hi, I'm adapting the omega (in a Python way ;) to do search across multiple remotes database, for now, I have only one xapian-tcpsrc running, but I have documents being inserted at the same time, so (like I have readed in others e-mails) the xapian-tcpsrc throw the following message: Connection from 192.168.0.101, port 64161 Got exception DatabaseModifiedError: The revision being read has

Hi, I have a user reporting the following error during recoll indexing: flush() failed: Db block overwritten - are there multiple writers? "flush() failed" is from recoll, the rest is, I think the text of the Xapian exception. This is with Xapian 1.4.3 on Linux (I asked for more details, should be coming). I don't think that I've ever seen this error, and I also

I've looked over the docs on remote backends, the protocol, and a bit of the c++ for doing distributed and remote searches. I've got a couple of questions: * The remote protocol is usable only as a Database, not as a WriteableDatabase -- is this correct? So, if I don't want my application to have a copy of the database on the same machine I'll need to write an indexer daemon on

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
