similar to: Where do I stick the PARTIAL flag in xappy?

Hello, I have a corpus that I have indexed with xapian/xappy and I would now like to generate a corpus-specific list of stopwords. (This is a technical corpus, so a typical stopword list wouldn't be helpful.) My first thought was to ask the xapian database for a list of terms followed by their frequency. My intuition is that I could probably bring together a list of stopwords by examining

Hi everyone, Sorry if this is an easy one, but I've Googled and can't find anyone else who's mentioned this same problem. I'm using Xapian (tried both versions 1.0.17 and 1.2.4) with the PHP bindings on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) and Apache 2.2.14. I'm using it for an "auto-complete" in the search form on a web page. But whenever I use FLAG_PARTIAL on my search, the

Hi, I'm using xapian to build my search engine, but met with a problem. The code snippet is like: ----------------------Code begin------------------------------------------------------------- Xapian::QueryParser qp; qp.add_prefix("Singer", "S"); Xapian::Query query = qp.parse_query("Singer:s.h.e",

Hello, Do xapian has analyzer like EdgeNGram to use it for autocomplete. I am trying to use the auto completion using xapian. For example: e ex exa exam example etc.. so that we can get it. I tried to use using the Partial flag but it dose not work Xapian::Query query = parser.parse_query("m*",parser.FLAG_PARTIAL); Do you have any example or any tutorial is appreciated. --Naveen.

I'm planning to add multiple-database support for searches to my "Xappy" python wrapper (more on this wrapper later, but for now, see http://code.google.com/p/xappy for details). This is reasonably straightforward, because Xapian supports this nicely: except that "Xappy" generates a "fieldname->prefix" mapping automatically. The prefix which corresponds

Hello everyone, I'm trying to do an "Auto-complete" widget for the search field on a website, which has Xapian running behind it. (Using the PHP bindings.) I have the name of a search result prefixed with "name", so as the user types, it triggers a search for "name:whatever the user put in". This seems like an ideal use for the FLAG_PARTIAL flag; in fact the

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:

Hi all. We are trying to use Xapian to index the titles of around ten million documents (music catalogue) and then do auto-complete style search on this index. After poking around we can't quite get the combination of QueryParser flags and search query that will give back the results we want. The closest we have can take a very long time (because it is searching for, and building a list of,

Hello, We would like to create Google or Firefox like "search hints". If someone types "abc", the search system should name some possible hints. I think, Firefox does it by indexing 3-characters of the domain name. If you enter parts, you get some hints. Thank you very much Marcus

Hi there, My web app uses Xapian via the PHP bindings. I'm getting this error thrown occasionally when atempting to instantiate a XapianDatabase object for searching. DatabaseCorruptError: Expected block 107 to be level 1, not 0 Here's the line that invokes it: $database = new XapianDatabase(PROJROOT.'/data/xapian/posts'); And my version is xapian-core 1.2.3 with matchspy.

I have a project that requires Xapian for a 32 bit arch, but Mac defaults to 64 bit. How can I configure Xapian core and Xapian python bindings to build 32 bit?

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',

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

Folks, Is it possible to query a document value (doc.set_value(i, val)) as part of the Omega query. I know how to do it from code. Is there a query markup to use for Omega? ...Thanks, ...Ken

Dose Xapian support wildcards (left truncation)? E.g. *ildcard.doc or *.doc or Wild*.doc I read a post from Olly in 2005 that said it wasn't supported yet, I was wonder if there had been any progress or easy work around since. I mainly need when users want to search by the filename extension. Thanks, Frank

Thanks that helped :). I am still trying to cover add_value some more though since I seem to not understand it totally. I guess it is because I am used to Lucene and Sphinx and Solr and it appears that Xapian seems to attach the type of value stored more on add_value. Like for example I am still a bit confused on how slotno actually works and what it actually is. I think the main thing is
