Fwd: Is there a front-end for using xapian-omega rather than the terminal? Could a Xapian database be accessed from web-browsers?

Thank you, Mr. Betts. for your replying to my questions. Please
consider me a novice and elaborate further, Mr. Betts.

How Mr. Betts? Suppose I have a ready open document text file, a
LibreOffice text file. say BettsBio.odt, for which I want to create an
index file, say, BettsIndex.txt.

Please assume that I have used Recoll on BettsBio.odt to create a
xapiandb directory and had the database created there already.

How do I configure Apache for the purpose to use a web-browser?
How do I write the command line to access the web-browser?
How do I have omega create the text database with extensive location
info of words or phrases within the doc?

Best wishes,
Rajib
Etc.
