It's written in C++, with bindings to allow use from Python, Guile and other languages. Xapian is actively maintained and current Xapian users include, for example, the Debian website and the notmuch E-mail indexer. Xapian is a highly adaptable toolkit which allows developers to easily add advanced indexing and search facilities to their own applications. It has built-in support for several families of weighting models and also supports a rich set of boolean query operators\cite{Xapian}. We build the Xapian index from SQL data and RDF data in the GN databases. - -=> topics/xapian-indexing.gmi indexing optimizations |
