Xapian discuss - Jan 2006 - gettting single term search to work with python bindings ( using xapian-core-0.9.2_svn6532, xapian-bindings-0.9.2_svn6532 )

I am sorry I broke the reply thread, but your response didn't get to my
mailbox, I saw it on GMANE.

Thanks for the pointers, according to the delve tool I am getting terms
added
from the add_posting() and the data is there, but I can't get the search to
work. Here is my REALLY simple search since I only want to search on a
single term!

#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
import xapian

if len(sys.argv) < 3:
    print >> sys.stderr, "usage: %s <path to database>
<search terms>" %
sys.argv[0]
    sys.exit(1)

try:
    database = xapian.Database( sys.argv[1] )

    enquire = xapian.Enquire(database)
    query = xapian.Query( sys.argv[2] )
    print "Performing query `%s'" % query.get_description()

    enquire.set_query(query)
    matches = enquire.get_mset(0, 10)

    print "%i results found" % matches.get_matches_estimated()
    for match in matches:
        print "ID %i %i%% [%s]" % (match[ xapian.MSET_DID],
match[xapian.MSET_PERCENT], match[xapian.MSET_DOCUMENT].get_data())

except Exception, e:
    print "Exception: %s" % str(e)
    sys.exit(1)

Here is what delve tells me:
>delve -r 999 -d /tmp/index
Data for record #999:
/wfs/R/t/3/Rt3oxJib36zNefmMEqJ9FVNyCUE=/SecUpd2005-006Ti.info
/d647d4a0-57c0-11da-be78-080020b7eac9

Term List for record #999: d647d4a0-57c0-11da-be78-080020b7eac9

and here is what my searcher.py program tells me:
>searcher.py /tmp/index d647d4a0-57c0-11da-be78-080020b7eac9
Performing query `Xapian::Query(d647d4a0-57c0-11da-be78-080020b7eac9)'
0 results found

any ideas what I am missing?

I figured out what the problem was, each line had the EOL still on it, so when
it was added to the postings you can figure out now why the search was failing!

anyway thanks for all the help on all the other stuff, and future questions!
