[Xapian-discuss] Saving multiple fields within one Xapian document

[Ciaccio, Mauro]

Hi,

I am experimenting with substituting a SQL Server Full Text Catalogue search with Xapian.

I am not sure what is the correct / best way to build the Xapian index. In my code I have tried two approaches

using (var db = SearchManager.OpenWriteDatabase())
using (var indexer = new TermGenerator())
using (var stemmer = new Stem("english"))
using (var doc = new Document())
{
    //doc.AddValue(0, item.RowID.ToString());
    //doc.AddValue(1, item.Description);
    //doc.AddValue(2, item.ItemCode);
    doc.SetData(string.Format("{0}_{1}_{2}", item.RowID.ToString(), item.Description, item.ItemCode));

    indexer.SetDocument(doc);
    indexer.SetStemmer(stemmer);
    indexer.IndexText(item.Description);
    indexer.IndexText(item.ItemCode);

    db.AddDocument(doc);
}

The SetData approach is the only one that I can get to work.

I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks
