[Xapian-discuss] Parameters and the omega binary

The difference is in the quoting.  For the first example, the quotes are
interpreted by the shell, so omega gets the value "searchForum.xml"
(without the " symbols) for the FMT parameter.  For the second example,
the quotes are not stripped, so the omega gets the value
"'searchForum.xml'" (without the " symbols, but with the ' symbols) for
the FMT parameter.

Instead, do:

./omega
DB=forum
FMT=searchForum.xml
HITSPERPAGE=25
P=madonna
