[Xapian-discuss] Contextual highlighting.

[Jim]

I know the subject has been discussed and there is a summary of 
discussions on the subject on the wiki.  A while back I was curious as 
to how the Search::Tools::HiLiter and Search::Tools::Snipper modules 
might work with Xapian so I generated a test.  I've cleaned up that test 
and decided to publish it.  A readme is located at 
http://fayettedigital.com/downloads/README.html.  The file can be 
downloade from http://fayettedigital.com/downloads/nsearch.tar.  It 
works OK on Ubuntu 8.04 and with difficulty on Centos 5.1. 

There is a lot of javascript included.  It uses AJAX to communicate with 
the perl CGI file.  It requires the dojo toolkit.

It's not fancy but if anyone is interested in toying with the previously 
mentioned modules, it's a starting point.  It includes a database, the 
same on that I described creating in my recent wiki article.

Jim.
