[Xapian-discuss] refining search with PHP5

[james cauwelier]

Hi all,


I used Xapian to search a database with 1.5 million products for an online
webshop.  We are cross referencing this with a relational database to do
further refining which is far from optimal.  This decision was made because
we did not have the time to investigate Xapian further.

Now we want to add more refining options, eg. by language, cover language
and release date.  How can I know which languages are available within a
result set?  If I index the release date, how can I know which of the
following groups are present in my result set?

- not released
- will be released within the next 30 days
- released in the last 30 days
- released more than 30 days ago


I hope somebody can help me out.  I would grately appreciate it.


Cheers,
James
