[Xapian-discuss] I'm trying to relate what I know about Omega/Scriptindex with the actual data

James, thanks for the explanations.  I misread the notes.

As an exercise, I'm trying to convert an existing project that currently 
uses Scriptindex and Omega to direct Xapian API calls.  I did a (I 
think) complete dump of a document with
delve -r 565 -d database
and I see things like

subject='A typical subject'
  with a corresponding set of terms like
  Sa Stypical Ssubject

Which is what I expect, however I have two "fields" unixdate and summary 
which I've specified as

unixdate : field date=unix
summary : field

In my index file.  They are displayed in the delve output as

summary=Do you remember what was wrong with the bearings?
unixdate=1181883741

I don't see a set of terms that would correspond to either of these.  
Yes, the words (terms) are there but no prefixes to indicate how they 
are related to the field names.  I assume there is some magic and/or 
delve isn't dumping everything.

The purpose of this investigation is to figure out how to add something 
to the document, storing this info.  In looking at the Document api, I 
only see how to add data, terms and values.  None of those three appear 
to be options either.

Can someone enlighten me?

Thanks,
Jim.
