[Xapian-discuss] Search term not found.

[Jim Lynch]

The document is there.  The database is closed24.  I get hits on it 
using the first two terms, so the db has the document in it or else I 
wouldn't get the hits with the first two terms, wouldn't I?

Interesting that running with just that db I get a different document 
not found.

<oasisminus 232> ./omega.cgi
omega - omega 0.8.2 (compiled Sep 14 2004 11:20:46)
Enter NAME=VALUE lines, end with blank line
FMT=xml
SORT=1
xFILTERS=--O
DB=closed24
DEFAULTOP=and
P="b0026247"

Exception: Document 268973992 not found.

So what do I have to do to fix the problem?  Reindex the whole thing?  
FYI, I indexed most of it with 0.8.1 and some with 0.8.2 if that makes 
any difference.  This is on an Irix system running the latest OS and 
MIPS compilers..

Thanks,
Jim.

PS I still get the prelinker problem with Omega 0.8.2, but the fix I 
mentioned a while back doesn't work any longer.  I have to manually 
insert a line in the Makefile after configure creates it.  Is there 
somewhere you'd like me to document the fix?
