[Xapian-discuss] Indexing and searching on a custom data type

Thanks, I think it should work fine that way !

My other problem is that I am using Xapian with acts_as_xapian on ruby
on rails.
acts_as_xapian uses two dependencies : libxapian15 and
libxapian-ruby1.8.
After making my changes and compiling Xapian, should I make changes on
the ruby binding too ? Is there an easy way to use my xapian changes on
my ruby on rails app ?

Thanks a lot !
