<pre wrap="">Docid 0 is invalid - the returned docids should start at 1. Perhaps
that's what you meant, but I thought I should clarify.

Yes, sorry my mistake.<br>

<pre wrap="">So instead of having 10 sub-indexes with 50 documents in each,
document_id:s ranging from 0-50 in each, I seem to end up with 10
sub-indexes with 50 documents in each, document_id:s ranging from 0-49
in subindex 1, 50-99 in subindex 2, and so on. This would not be a
problem if writabledatabase_add_document() returned these globally
incrementing document_id:s, but it doesn't.

When you search over a combination of databases, the document ids are
simply interleaved to avoid clashes. You can easily reverse the
formula used:

Good to know. I figured this out after a while. Sorry for spamming down
the mailing list with redundant questions.<br>

When writing, you're just accessing the docids in a single database. It
would be feasible to allow writing to multiple database managed by a
single object, but nobody's yet done the work required to support this.
There was some discussion of that in this thread:

I have implemented exactly that in my xapian index class, but its php
only of course. Perhaps something I could submit to the xapian wiki
pages later? Not until I have tested it out a bit more so I know its
stable though.<br>

Thanks<br>
