Great.

Am I right in thinking you'll need to evaluate this as part of your
project?

If so, it would be good to come up with a plan for how you are going
to do that early on.

Another thing to do is to start getting more familiar with Xapian
(unless you've used it already).

Check out the code from git, get it to build, and read the "Getting
Started with Xapian" guide:

http://getting-started-with-xapian.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

The inline examples there are Python, but if you check out the git
sources to it, there are C++ versions of most of them too.

After that, I'd suggest experimenting with query expansion
(Enquire::get_eset()) as that's probably a key part of this.  Or
come up with another plan for finding the completion to suggest.

Cheers,
    Olly
