[Xapian-discuss] Performance of range searches

[Alex Neth]

I wonder if there is a way to get Xapian not to store the full set of  
data, and only index it, and if that might improve performance.  For  
various reasons I prefer to fetch full data myself.

Also, is there a way to keep value ranges indexes in memory so that it  
might be faster?

Any other suggestions to improve performance would help.

I am running Ubuntu.
