I'm using omega for a sitesearch and currently having a problem trying to filter $field(sample). At the moment it returns text from the page header and navigation within the sample, ideally I'd like it to return only the page content. I've been trying various omegascript commands to trim the output or seperate the fields and also looking at scriptindex to control how the xhtml is

Hi, Ha, I was reading this thread thinking TheyWorkForYou (which I help maintain) does highlight terms wherever they are, and then you mentioned it :) The code is open source; it is quite old and probably hair-raising, but as you say it does basically do what you want. Our Xapian database stores terms/boolean terms/values for the text, and for the document itself stores only an identifier. It

Whoops, forgot to say, as Olly said, much of that could probably now be simplified with Xapian's snippet() function, which I can only assume did not exist back when all this was written! :) ATB, Matthew On Mon, 21 Sep 2020 at 09:28, Matthew Somerville <matthew at mysociety.org> wrote: > Hi, > > Ha, I was reading this thread thinking TheyWorkForYou (which I help > maintain)

Hi Some of my users are very "conservative" as it seems :) The complained about "not finding anything useful", because the highlighted sample was wrongly colored when doing phrase search, e.g. "some word". So they refused to use web search at all and keep telephoning around. Not the found phrase was highlighted in one color, but all locations of these words within

I have a sortable list in one of my views, using the sortable example from the recipes book. The sorting works great on my mac. When I throw it on the server for testing it doesn''t save the display order. I cracked open the log file and see that it''s not even returning the id''s like it should: Parameters: {"action"=>"sort",

Hello, I've just started learning Xapian and I'm facing the following problem. I've indexed many text files (using a TermGenerator from std::string), each document in my database is a single file on the disk. The search works pretty well and finds the files that match the query string, but I can't figure out how I can determine the location of the actual matched terms. I want to

Dear Xapian community, Thank you to the developers and community for creating a supporting such a great search engine library! I wrote a tutorial on building a search engine using Xapian and Pylons (link below) and am featuring Xapian in a workshop this Tuesday, November 17 from 6:30-9:30pm on 23rd street and 6th avenue. Do you know people who might be interested? Please let them know! It will

Hi All, I am currently writing a FAQ that provides an overview of available options for authentication backends which can potentially be used with Samba. Initially I was looking into these issues for my own use, but I figure that if I document my findings then it may save others some headache :-) From the Official Samba-3 HOWTO: "Samba offers the greatest flexibility and choice of account

Olly, Thanks again very much for helping me improve my understanding of Xapian and Omega. Thanks especially for pointing out that my idea of trying to generate a snippet from stemmed text lacking capitalization and punctuation would probably not produce a user-friendly result. But I'm still doubtful that expanding the sample size could be the right way to obtain excerpts from the document

I've just noticed the Omega "opensearch" template seems to lack escaping for URLs in <link> tags: $httpheader{Content-Type,application/xml}<?xml version="1.0"?> <rss version="2.0" xmlns:openSearch="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearchrss/1.0/"> <channel> <title>Xapian search results</title>

Hello, Is there advancements in snippeting? (Besides what mentioned in the wiki.) I think extracting snippets is clearly IR task. And I hope Xapian will provide at least helpers to do that. I have set of documents up to 5M of extracted text and 1M in average (they are even bigger pdfs but I pre-extracted text into some sort of text cache, pdftotext is very slow). To parse ~1M documents on the fly

By way of introduction, I manage YottaDB (https://yottadb.com and https://gitlab.com/YottaDB). The core of YottaDB is a hierarchical key-value datastore (https://docs.yottadb.com/MultiLangProgGuide/cprogram.html and https://gitlab.com/YottaDB/DB/YDB). The code base is mature (in daily production use since 1986), and very performant, with strongly ACID transactions, and replication (to ensure

Hi, Xapian uses a directory as standard storage backend. Is that possible to pack everything in a file (a tar file for example), and to tell libxapian to open it (by telling him at which offset are the different stuff)? If this is not possible yet, would that be technically possible to implement such a feature? How complex would that be? Kind regards Emmanuel -- Kiwix - Wikipedia Offline &

Hi, folks. New to Xapian. I just built a couple of indexes. Search results seem good but I can't figure out why the excerpts are showing HTML tags. These tags are not present in the original HTML documents. Is there a built-in way to either get rid of these tags or have them render as actual HTML tags? A couple of examples here, you'll see the STRONG tags wrapped around the search
