<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.search.xapian.general/2196> has
an example of indexing; the Perl bindings themselves come with an
example of searching, based on the simplesearch that is an example for
C++, Python and PHP.

<http://xapian.org/docs/overview> will also be helpful, as it explains
how Xapian works from the perspective of a developer using it.
