I don't believe this is currently possible with xappy; FLAG_PARTIAL and friends are provided to the parse_query() method on QueryParser, which xappy hides away. You can probably hack something by fiddling with "constants" in xappy.searchconnection.SearchConnection:

xappy.searchconnection.SearchConnection._qp_flags_base |= xapian.QueryPasrser.FLAG_PARTIAL

or something; that's pretty evil though :-)

Richard may be able to comment further.

Don't know where you're seeing that; I can't find FLAG_PARTIAL in the xappy source code at all, or in the docs.
