[Xapian-discuss] omega url fetch

[Michael A. Lewis]

My report program is written in PHP. I can shell out using the system function as with: system('/httpd/cgi-bin/omega FMT=test DB=default P=linux HITSPERPAGE=1000"); and then process the output. I thought there was a quick way to grab the URL using the document ID (or a query) but couldn't locate it in the documentation.

The simplest way would be a custom OmegaScript template containing just
this:

$hitlist{$field{url}
}

Save it into "templates/urls" and run Omega with `FMT=urls'.
