On the contrary, I'm certain that Alessandro is well aware of the
difference between a search engine and a database. Many search engines
require the ability to delete documents frequently, and Xapian is quite
capable of handling this. Also, two solutions to Alessandro's question
about how to delete all the documents but preserve the synonyms have
already been supplied on this list.
