About:
Xapian is a search engine library, scalable to collections containing
hundreds of millions of documents. It's written in C++ with bindings for
Perl, Python, PHP, Java, Tcl, C#, and Ruby. It is a highly adaptable
toolkit that allows developers to easily add advanced indexing and search
facilities to their own applications. It supports the Probabilistic
Information Retrieval model and also a rich set of boolean query
operators. Omega is a Web search application built upon the Xapian
library. It can index a Web server's document tree (including HTML, PDF,
OpenOffice, MS Word/Excel/Powerpoint/Works, WordPerfect, RTF, PS, etc.),
or data exported from arbitrary sources (e.g. SQL databases).
Changes:
The library now supports the storing of arbitrary metadata in the database,
which is versioned along with the other database content. The flint backend
now checks the term length when a document is added or replaced, rather
than giving an error later when it tries to flush changes. A glossary has
been added to the documentation. Omega can now index AbiWord documents and
TeX DVI files.
Release focus: Minor feature enhancements
