[Xapian-discuss] allterms_begin(prefix) on a WritableDatabase

[Matthew Somerville]

Is there any reason that, in the Perl bindings, the allterms_begin/end in 
Search::Xapian::WritableDatabase do not allow a prefix, while those in 
Search::Xapian::Database do? (I want to fetch all the Q prefixed terms from 
Xapian and compare them against our database to see if any Xapian entries 
can be removed as they're no longer present in the database.) I'm happy to 
supply a patch if that's helpful, although it wouldn't be any more than 
copying the relevant prefix bits from the Search::Xapian::Database section 
as I'm no XS expert :-)

ATB,
Matthew
