[Xapian-discuss] Performance of range searches

[Alex Neth]

Thanks Olly.  I didn't realize the package was out of date.  I  
upgraded to 1.0.9.  Unfortunately, the speed is not significantly  
different.

It seems like Xapian is not well suited for what I am doing right now  
until range searches are optimized, which it sounds like may happen  
for 1.1.  That's too bad because I really want to switch :(.

How is development on the new backend going?  Will ruby bindings be  
available in conjunction?  I'd love to try it out once the value range  
stuff takes advantage of the storage improvements.

I have only 4 "values" and 3 are used for most queries, so I don't  
think reordering will help.
