I hadn't thought too much about the new Xapian search usage until I had reason this morning to look at disc usage under ~/.sword.
Xapian indices are monstrous in size. A touchstone for this is that my personal NETnote module has rawcom ot+nt files whose size total about 23M. But the Xapian indices for the module are 140M. Until a little while ago, ~/.sword contained about 28G, of which 23.2G was Xapian indices... Then I deleted all Xapian indices and am back to CLucene using --without-xapian in Sword. I realize the reason for Xapian is CLucene's lack of support. But do we really want a 7-fold size increase in module space occupation for the sake of the new indexer/search?
