Xapian discuss - Mar 2013 - Xapian web fronends

Hi,

Is there any php or other web (not cli) front end (same as omega) for
Xapian index?

I would like to use Xapian for an intranet search portal, and modify the
style of it.

Many thanks,

Omer

Dezi[0] supports a Xapian backend, and the PHP Dezi client[1] would 
allow you to design whatever interface you'd like. You can also use the 
Javascript example UI[2] and modify that.

Briefly:

Install the prerequisites from CPAN:

  % cpan Search::Xapian
  % cpan SWISH::Prog::Xapian
  % cpan Search::OpenSearch::Engine::Xapian    # version 0.04 required
  % cpan Dezi
  % cpan Dezi::UI     # if you want to try the Javascript example ui

Create a config file as documented[0].
