Xapian discuss - May 2007 - QueryParser prefixing terms when stemming?

I'm new to Xapian and we just recently upgraded to version 1.0.0.0.   
However, something seems to have changed during the upgrade and I  
need help figuring out how my code should be written.

In version 0.9.9.1 of Search::Xapian, the following code results in  
this output "Xapian::Query(pet:(pos=1))".

   my $qp = new Search::Xapian::QueryParser;
   $qp->set_stemmer(new Search::Xapian::Stem('english'));
   $qp->set_default_op(OP_AND);
   $qp->set_stemming_strategy(STEM_SOME);

   warn $qp->parse_query($search_term);

In version 1.0.0.0, the same code results in "Xapian::Query(Zpet: 
(pos=1))".  The result is no matches, even though the term pet  
exists.  If I use STEM_NONE, the output is the same as the output  
from 0.9.9.1 and there are matches.

It seems like the Z is a prefix, but since I'm new to Xapian, I'm not  
sure.  Could someone guide me?

Cheers,
Tracy

The term generation strategy has changed with the 1.0.0 release.  The 
document you need to read is:

http://www.xapian.org/docs/termgenerator.html

It might be worth mentioning that Xapian now includes some routines for 
generating terms from text in a manner compatible with the query parser: 
see the TermGenerator class.  (I'm afraid I'm not sure exactly how 
that's wrapped in Search::Xapian, not being a Perl user.)
