" results found\n"; foreach my $match ( @matches ) { my $doc = $match->get_document(); printf "ID %d %d%% [ %s ]\n", $match->get_docid(), $match->get_percent(), $doc->get_data(); } =head1 DESCRIPTION This module wraps most methods of most Xapian classes. The missing classes and methods should be added in the future. It also provides a simplified, more 'perlish' interface - as demonstrated above. The Xapian library is evolving very quickly at the time of writing, hence any documentation placed here would be likely to become out of date quite rapidly, and I do not have the patience to write some which could rapidly become redundant. Apologies to those of you considering using this module. For the time being, I would suggest garnering what you can from the tests and examples provided, or reading through the Xapian documentation on L, notably the API documentation at L. If you encounter problems, email either me or preferably the Xapian-discuss mailing list (which I am on - subscription details can be found on the Xapian web site L). =head2 EXPORT None by default. =head1 :db =over 4 =item DB_OPEN Open a database, fail if database doesn't exist. =item DB_CREATE Create a new database, fail if database exists. =item DB_CREATE_OR_OPEN Open an existing database, without destroying data, or create a new database if one doesn't already exist. =item DB_CREATE_OR_OVERWRITE Overwrite database if it exists. =back =head1 :ops =over 4 =item OP_AND Match if both subqueries are satisfied. =item OP_OR Match if either subquery is satisfied. =item OP_AND_NOT Match if left but not right subquery is satisfied. =item OP_XOR Match if left or right, but not both queries are satisfied. =item OP_AND_MAYBE Match if left is satisfied, but use weights from both. =item OP_FILTER Like OP_AND, but only weight using the left query. =item OP_NEAR Match if the words are near each other. The window should be specified, as a parameter to C, but it defaults to the number of terms in the list. =item OP_PHRASE Match as a phrase (All words in order). =item OP_ELITE_SET Select an elite set from the subqueries, and perform a query with these combined as an OR query. =item OP_VALUE_RANGE Filter by a range test on a document value. =back =head1 :qpflags =over 4 =item FLAG_BOOLEAN Support AND, OR, etc and bracketted subexpressions. =item FLAG_LOVEHATE Support + and -. =item FLAG_PHRASE Support quoted phrases. =item FLAG_BOOLEAN_ANY_CASE Support AND, OR, etc even if they aren't in ALLCAPS. =item FLAG_WILDCARD Support right truncation (e.g. Xap*). =item FLAG_PURE_NOT Allow queries such as 'NOT apples'. These require the use of a list of all documents in the database which is potentially expensive, so this feature isn't enabled by default. =item FLAG_PARTIAL Enable partial matching. Partial matching causes the parser to treat the query as a "partially entered" search. This will automatically treat the final word as a wildcarded match, unless it is followed by whitespace, to produce more stable results from interactive searches. =back =head1 :qpstem =over 4 =item STEM_ALL Stem all terms. =item STEM_NONE Don't stem any terms. =item STEM_SOME Stem some terms, in a manner compatible with Omega (capitalised words aren't stemmed, and get an 'R' prefix). =back =head1 :enq_order =over 4 =item ENQ_ASCENDING docids sort in ascending order (default) =item ENQ_DESCENDING docids sort in descending order =item ENQ_DONT_CARE docids sort in whatever order is most efficient for the backend =back =head1 :standard Standard is db + ops + qpflags + qpstem =head1 TODO =over 4 =item Error Handling Error handling for all methods liable to generate them. =item Documentation Add POD documentation for all classes, where possible just adapted from Xapian docs. =item Unwrapped classes The following Xapian classes are not yet wrapped: Error (and subclasses), ErrorHandler, ExpandDecider (and subclasses), user-defined weight classes. We don't yet wrap Xapian::Query::MatchAll, Xapian::Query::MatchNothing, or Xapian::BAD_VALUENO. =item Unwrapped methods The following methods are not yet wrapped: Enquire::get_eset(...) with more than two arguments, Enquire::register_match_decider(...) with one argument, Query ctor optional "parameter" parameter, Remote::open(...), static Stem::get_available_languages(). We wrap MSet::swap() and MSet::operator[](), but not ESet::swap(), ESet::operator[](). Is swap actually useful? Should we instead tie MSet and ESet to allow them to just be used as lists? =back =head1 CREDITS Thanks to Tye McQueen Etye@metronet.comE for explaining the finer points of how best to write XS frontends to C++ libraries, James Aylett Ejames@tartarus.orgE for clarifying the less obvious aspects of the Xapian API, Tim Brody for patches wrapping ::QueryParser and ::Stopper and especially Olly Betts Eolly@survex.comE for contributing advice, bugfixes, and wrapper code for the more obscure classes. =head1 AUTHOR Alex Bowley Ekilinrax@cpan.orgE =head1 SEE ALSO L.
