Not really.  You could write something which sort of did that, but
it would generally be a lossy process.  Like trying to turn a xapian
database created by omindex back into a directory tree of HTML and
other files.

It's best just to keep the original source around if you want to
refer to it later.

Using omega is the easiest way to search a xapian database (if you want
a web front-end that is).  Or perhaps I misunderstand your question?

Cheers,
