[Xapian-discuss] Omega

[Jim Lynch]

Thanks, now I want to extend omega to include variable proximity 
searches and added the following at the beginning of the run_query function:
        vector<string> myTerms;
        myTerms.push_back("less");
        myTerms.push_back("february");
        Xapian::Query nearMe(Xapian::Query::OP_NEAR,  
myTerms.begin(),myTerms.end(),5);
        query = Xapian::Query(Xapian::Query::OP_AND, query, nearMe);

I suspect I'm misunderstanding how something works.  Any suggestions?  I 
called omega with P=less thinking that the redundance will be ignored.  
The terms less and february are 3 words appart.

Thanks,
Jim.
