[Xapian-devel] how to change the default operator?

[Shen Li]

Hi Olly,

Thanks very much for your advice! I've managed to explicitly set the default operator each time with php binding instead of changing the Xapian core. However, I'm still wondering that whether it's possible to use multiple operators like a operators chain in queryparser. And if it is, how should I implement that? I really appreciate your help and maybe some reference would be even better!

Best,
Shen
