Xapian discuss - Sep 2008 - Searching on filename, directory, etc

I've been trying to work out how to search on stuff like filenames and 
directory.

E.g. I'd like to search for *.pdf.

I'm using omega, is this possible.

You have to make a small change in the omega source to allow wildcard  
searching. This may be somewhat different in omega 1.0.8, but in  
1.0.7, its line 239 of query.cc, replace the

query = qp.parse...

with

query = qp.parse_query(query_string, Xapian::QueryParser::FLAG_BOOLEAN  
| Xapian::QueryParser::FLAG_PHRASE |  
Xapian::QueryParser::FLAG_LOVEHATE |  
Xapian::QueryParser::FLAG_WILDCARD);

Then recompile.
