But anyway, utf-8 support for Xapian is pretty much written now. I've just sent JeffB a patch to try (but it'll require a reindex so it'll probably not be live for a while).
Major, major kudos to Olly for getting this feature ready. I've patched it in and it seems to work great! Let's revist queries in Danish and Japanese. http://www.mail-archive.com/cgi-bin/omega/omega?P=%E6%A1%90%E5%B1%B1&DB=announce-jp%40jp.freebsd.org http://www.mail-archive.com/cgi-bin/omega/omega?P=%C3%B8l+eftersmag&DB=brygforum%40lists.haandbryg.dk I've just asked the computer to start re-indexing all the lists with this new improved version of Xapian. That process will take about 5 full days, and will proceed in alphabetical order. As of this second, it is crunching away on a list called "activedir"

FWIW, I think I prefer the "blend in" look. But the look is essentially orthogonal to the choice of engine - it's just a matter of slotting the appropriate HTML into the templates.
Unless I hear otherwise, I'm going to assume everyone is in complete agreement that "blend in" is significantly better. Any dissenters? _______________________________________________ Discussion list for The Mail Archive Gossip@jab.org http://jab.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gossip
