I am using synoyms and cannot determine how to use them in following example: $db->add_synonym('Zfoobar','Zfoo Zbar') or $db->add_synonym('Zfoobar','Zfoo AND Zbar') Or is this general not possible? MfG Felix

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

Hi guys I've just had a thought about something we do with our search on ReportBuyer.com: we cater for both American and British English in our searches and we have had plans for a while now to implement something that allows users to find 'colour' and 'color', 'tap' and 'faucet' by doing some clever programming. Looking at the Xapian docs, though, it appears

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 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

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

Very few people seem to be using synonym in Xapian, I recently found some problems in the use of synonyms. Normally, I think we should not contain any prefix info in synonym table except that 'Z'. For example, I have the following synonyms and prefix info: db.add_synonym("search", "find"); db.add_synonym("Zsearch", "Zfind");

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

Hi I've decided to use xapian because my files table in my mysql database is going to grow very large, and it seems mysql isn't good at full text searching. I'm doing this with the php wrapper by the way. The way my system is set out, each user has their own set of files, and when doing a search it is going to be for a specific user's file (based on file name, title,

Hi, Could you please clarify a query regarding full text search in Xapain? I have installed LXRng (cross-referencer), which internally uses Xapain for text search.

I have an application for synonyms for tags in in notmuch, which means synonym expansion for a particular boolean prefix. I have a vague memory of Olly telling me this doesn't work, but I'm not sure about the details. My higher level goal is to support a kind of indirection with tags, where query tag:foo can really generate tag:bar or tag:fub, depending on some kind of configuration.

Hi, I am new to xapian and read somewhere that xapain was using flint before released version 1.1 now it is using chert. I am looking for differences between both flint vs chert respective to xapian and advantages of chert. thanks Smriti
