The Xapian documentation talks about a situation where you don't want to do two database swaps while in the process of replicating. It says... To confuse the replication system, the following needs to happen: 1. Start with two databases, A and B. 2. Start a replication of database A. 3. While the replication is in progress, swap B in place of A (ie, by moving the files around, such that B

Suppose that I'm indexing on a database foo, and I'm replicating it to another database bar using xapian-replicate. If I compact foo and produce foo2, can I safely use xapian-replicate on foo2 to bar? The version in question is 1.2.4. Thanks, Wes -- http://www.s7labs.com

Is there a mechanism or technique to allow me to boost document relevancy, independent of search terms? I do not necessarily want to do any of the sorts described here: http://xapian.org/docs/sorting.html#sorting-by-value. Rather I'd like to sort by something like relevancy*boost factor, like: http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_3_2/api/org/apache/lucene/document/Document.html#setBoost(float)

I am using xapian-bindings-1.0.16.tar.gz ./configure --prefix=$HOME PYTHON=/usr/bin/python PYTHON_LIB=/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages --with-python --without-ruby --without-php --without-tcl and I get configure: error: Can't find xapian-config, although the xapian-core runtime library seems to be installed. If you've installed xapian-core from a package, you probably need to install

Worse, passing -I/usr/include causes problems with some versions of GCC on some platforms as GCC generates

Hi all, I have spent more than 3 hours trying to figure out how Xapian documents fields works ! It seems that I failed so I ask for help. I am using Xapian 0.9.2 with Python bindings and Xapwrap (Python wrapper for xapian) on Fedora Core 3. I have added custom fields like 'uri', 'title', etc and I wish to view them in my Omega results. I am also using an Omega XML customized

I'm cc:-ing my reply to xapian-devel, since others may have an opinion. In particular, James has probably done most work on the python bindings.

Is there a package for the Python Xapian bindings in PyPi (the Python package index)??I install nearly all of my Python packages using pip and virtualenv, but I've had to manually compile the Xapian bindings for Python for a couple of projects. I just did this again and was wondering if I'd simply missed the package before. If there isn't a package in PyPi, would you be interested in

hello folks! on this page (http://xapian.org/download) you have links to the Fink packages for xapian-core and omega; you may be interested to know that i've packaged the Xapian Python bindings. i'm working on similar packages for the Ruby and PHP bindings, and i'd be happy to inform you once they've been pushed out to the mirrors. -steve -- If this were played upon a

Hi: After a succesful installation of .dll xapian using VS2005 and swigwin-1.3.29, I attempted to do my first tests, however, I had the next problem: .python Python 2.5b2 (r25b2:50512, Jul 11 2006, 10:16:14) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> >>>import sys

Hi, I'm the current developer of Xapian-Haystack, and I'm glad to announce that we've been finally able to install and pass all the tests of Xapian-Haystack with Xapian 1.3.3 in both Python 2 and 3, which means that Xapian-Haystack now supports Python 3. This naturally would not be possible without your efforts to push Xapian bindings to Python 3, and I thank you for that. Here I

Hello, I am Ainish Dave from Ahmedabad, India. I am currently pursuing my masters level degree with background in computer science. I browsed through the list of organizations on the GSoC program page and Xapian was the one which closely matched with my interest and background. I had some queries: 1) I am interested in the project 'Clustering of Search Results'. I have followed the

Hello. I am Liu Chi(??) from Peking University, China. I am planning to join GSoC. I am interested in Xapian and looking forward to find something interesting in GSoC 2014 Project Ideas List. The topic of "Clustering of Search Results" looks interesting and I think it suits me. I have been involved in a project that aims to clustering tweets based on the text similarity and user

I see this trac ticket: http://trac.xapian.org/ticket/346 which looks like it was last updated 6 months ago. Is there any information available on the time frame? Thanks, Steve

Hi! Just to mention, I have built the Xapian python bindings on Windows with the Lemur Consulting makefiles, and packaged them up in a distutils executable. If anyone is interested, they are available here, in a nice easy to install format: http://www.raptorized.com/?page_id=136 I've only built them for Python 2.5 so far, but I'll try to package them for 2.4 as well when I get home

Hi, If I take up the task of 'clustering the search results' and I am opting for the new method to cluster the results, then what will be the approximate amount of data that will be clustered? So appropriate clustering mechanism can be thought of according to that. Thanks & regards, Ainish On Sat, Mar 19, 2016 at 5:37 PM, James Aylett <james-xapian at tartarus.org> wrote:

Dear mentors and friends working on Xapian: Sorry for bothering you here, please excuse my rudeness.

This email consists of 3 parts, my self introduction (I'm new here) and two question I met while building Xapian from git.

Hi Olly, Perhaps you could announce such updates a bit more out in the open. For instance send a message to the discuss-list and/or put piece of information about the last version on the index of xapian.org.
