[Xapian-devel] Ruby bindings now pass all smoketests

[Paul Legato]

Hi Olly, hi Xapian developers,

There are now 3 complete examples in ruby/examples - simpleexpand.rb, 
simpleindex.rb, and simplesearch.rb. They appear to be working well. Is 
there a standard corpus of test documents with expected results for 
various operations?

Some of the search terms suggested by simpleexpand are strange, due to 
the input terms having been stemmed in simpleindex before insertion into 
the database; it's producing non-words like "sometim" and "merg". Are 
input terms typically not stemmed in a production environment, or is 
there some way to get more user-friendly suggestions?

I haven't yet completely deciphered simplematchdecider.py, nor the 
wrapper for MatchDecider in Python's util.i. I will look into those more 
next week. I have also updated the code to use _xapian with no 
extension. Should work OK cross-platform now.

Best,
Paul
