Some days with Debian Sid it's a mistake to go 'apt upgrade'. This is one of those days. Either the apt xapian indexer has stopped working (it reports success), or synaptic has stopped using it (it logs nothing adverse), because the filter box that made synaptic usable has vanished.

#debian #xapian #apt #synaptic

Experimenting with setting up a #nixos documentation search thingy using #xapian, analogous to man-db

I have setup https://github.com/casouri/xeft

Let's see if my linking of notes improves.

#xapian #emacs

@futurebird @Jirikiha You might be able to build something with #Lucene (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Lucene#Lucene-based_projects) or, for a much more lightweight option, with #Xapian (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xapian).

You'd still have to build something yourself from those though. For Xapian, looking at the source for #mu4e and #mu would probably be usable as a decent example (https://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/mu/).

You'd also need to figure out some way to feed data exports from those into it.

All of my suggestions are #FreeSoftware & gratis.

To add some more information here: This (German) wiki entry provides information which #Debian #packages to install to make #Recoll perform best: https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Recoll/

And this article of #LinuxMagazine provides an in-depth explanation of the features of Recoll and why it should be preferred over using #Xapian directly for handling user provided search strings: https://www.linux-magazine.com/Issues/2018/212/Tutorials-Recoll

#Xapian sort une nouvelle version : https://trac.xapian.org/wiki/ReleaseOverview/1.4.18

C'est surtout des modifications sur omega, l'outil d'indexation de fichier.

#Recoll is a personal #search engine.

Recoll indexes and searches directories using #Xapian. Recoll performs full text searches, meaning the entire text of indexed files is searched rather than some metadata. Recoll supports helpers which can perform spell check, indexing of otherwise unsupported file formats, and plenty more. Recoll supports fuzzy suggestions based on the actual contents of the index.

mi contribución al #SoftwareLibre del día fue actualizar la gema de #xapian y bajarle el tamaño de 200 a 14 mb 😎
