[Xapian-discuss] Question to make a search by navigation

[Yann ROBIN]

Hi,

I'm currently testing Xapian for an e-commerce website and I want to
implement a search by navigation like there is on
http://www.bbcshop.com.

I don't think there is a magic function that would give the estimated
count for all the "boolean value" for a particular request. Do you
know if there is a way to do this with xapian ?

I tought I could retrieve all the term present for all the matching
document, but i don't see if there is a way to do this in the api (and
i think it would cost a lot in performance ?). And then i could make
one query by distinct term to get the estimate count ... but it seems
overkill ...

Thanks you,
