There isn't any kind of Javascript-compatible API for Xapian I'm afraid.

Not itself, but the Omega application and our own Flax application can 
do so.

If you're running on Windows you could try Flax Basic:
http://www.flax.co.uk/the_software

This is a (deliberately) very simple search application, but it will let 
you index Office documents, PDFs and HTML, and gives you a basic search 
front end. If you have any questions do contact us via the Flax website.
