[Xapian-discuss] Total matches found and how to disable stemming.

[Kevin SoftDev]

Thanks, we are doing much better when adding [--stemmer=none] option to the
scriptindex. All the words are indexed and able to search as they appear in
the orginal content. Very good! This way we can easly avoid stemming words
that are not of English origin.

#!/bin/sh
#---------------------------------------------------------#
# This script create a Xapian index
#---------------------------------------------------------#
echo -n "Xapian Index Start: "
date
echo "The pid of this process is $$"
#---------------------------------------------------------#
echo "Retrieving data from database"
DBUSER=user DBPASSWORD=password /usr/local/bin/dbi2omega myDatabase myTable
> myData.dat
rm -f /indexPath/*
echo "Indexing "
/usr/local/bin/scriptindex --stemmer=none /indexPath indexscript myData.dat
#---------------------------------------------------------#
echo -n "Xapian Index End: "
date
