wow, the indexing is definitely faster. thanks :) i must thank all
involved here, this is a powerful tool with a great future.
and now for something completely different: the python module still
isn't copying correctly. it copied _xapian to site-packages without the
.so extension. let me know if i need to post log files to help out here.
also, to anyone using python, be careful to specify case sensitivy this
round (caught me on the xapian.stem())
regards,
andrew
