[Xapian-discuss] Problem getting Xapian working with Burmese

[emmanuel at engelhart.org]

Hi

I want to update my request.
Is my question bad formulated? too trivial? ... or maybe pretty complicated/unclear?
In fact I'm not a Xapian nor a search engine expert, so I have no Idea where I have to start my investigation.
Without having the answer to my question, maybe someone can give me Idea how to better understand the issue?

Regards
Emmanuel
