[Xapian-discuss] Returning special terms/postings

Hi,

  I was wondering if it is possible to return a particular indexed
term from a search result.  I have a special prefixed term index value
"XINDEX" which I store for each document I index (this differs from
the index value that xapian automatically adds at indexing time, and
is not necessarily unique).  I would like to return this index value,
instead of the actual document, as the result of a query.  The
prefixed term will not be included as a part of the query itself.  I
tried using termlist_begin() and get_termname() but I am either using
these wrongly or this does not work.  I want to return the term based
on its position in the termlist (i always index it at the first
position).

   Does this make sense?  Is this possible?

joe
