Well, I'm not saying that it's nothing to do with Xapian: clearly the
page is about Xapian. However since it wasn't _created_ by the Xapian
project, it's not authoritative.

Google search results are personalised; for me, the top hit for that
search is the Xapian Administrator's Guide, which correctly names the
command for 1.4 as xapian-delve (and the history of the
change).

If I'm not logged into Google, I still get that document top, but the
Linux From Scratch one you found is in the list further down. I'd
guess the difference in ordering is down to your own personalisation
from Google, although of course we can never be certain with Google.

Kevin, I don't think sarcasm was called for here. Let's try to keep
our mailing lists and forums welcoming places that everyone can feel
comfortable!
