"""
Xapian is a highly adaptable toolkit which allows developers to easily
add advanced indexing and search facilities to their own
applications. It supports the Probabilistic Information Retrieval
model and also supports a rich set of boolean query operators.

In addition to the doc strings provided by this python library, you
may wish to look at the library's overall documentation, either
installed along with the bindings or online at
<http://xapian.org/docs/bindings/python/>, as well as the library's
documentation, possibly installed with the library or with its
development files, or again online at <http://xapian.org/docs/>.

        The caller is required to ensure that the specified document id did
        actually exists in the database.

        This method acts like skip_to() if that can be done at little extra
        cost, in which case it then returns true. This is how brass and chert
        databases behave because they store values in streams which allow for
        an efficient implementation of skip_to().

        Otherwise it simply checks if a particular docid is present. If it is,
        it returns true. If it isn't, it returns false, and leaves the
        position unspecified (and hence the result of calling methods which
        depends on the current position, such as get_docid(), are also
        unspecified). In this state, next() will advance to the first matching
        position after document did, and skip_to() will act as it would if the
        position was the first matching position after document did.

        Currently the inmemory, flint, and remote backends behave in the
        latter way because they don't support streamed values and so skip_to()
        must check each document it skips over which is significantly slower.

        If the specified docid isn't in the list, position ourselves on the
        first document after it (or at_end() if no greater docids are
        present).

        If the current position is already the specified docid, this method
        will leave the position unmodified.

        If the specified docid is earlier than the current position, the
        behaviour is unspecified. A sensible behaviour would be to leave the
        current position unmodified, but it is also reasonable to move to the
        specified docid.

        The caller is required to ensure that the specified document id did
        actually exists in the database. If it does, it must move to that
        document id, and return true. If it does not, it may either:

        return true, having moved to a definite position (including
        "at_end"), which must be the same position as skip_to() would have
        moved to.

        or

        return false, having moved to an "indeterminate" position, such that
        a subsequent call to next() or skip_to() will move to the next
        matching position after did.

        Generally, this method should act like skip_to() and return true if
        that can be done at little extra cost.

        Otherwise it should simply check if a particular docid is present,
        returning true if it is, and false if it isn't.

        *errorhandler_=0)

        This specification cannot be changed once the Xapian::Enquire is
        opened: you must create a new Xapian::Enquire object to access a
        different database, or set of databases.

        The database supplied must have been initialised (ie, must not be the
        result of calling the Database::Database() constructor). If you need
        to handle a situation where you have no index gracefully, a database
        created with InMemory::open() can be passed here, which represents a
        completely empty database.

        Parameters:
        -----------

        database:  Specification of the database or databases to use.

        errorhandler_:  A pointer to the error handler to use. Ownership of
        the object pointed to is not assumed by the Xapian::Enquire object -
        the user should delete the Xapian::ErrorHandler object after the
        Xapian::Enquire object is deleted. To use no error handler, this
        parameter should be 0.

        Parameters:
        -----------

        Xapian::InvalidArgumentError:  will be thrown if an empty Database
        object is supplied.

        Add a matchspy.

        void Xapian::Enquire::add_matchspy(MatchSpy *spy)

        This matchspy will be called with some of the documents which match
        the query, during the match process. Exactly which of the matching
        documents are passed to it depends on exactly when certain
        optimisations occur during the match process, but it can be controlled
        to some extent by setting the checkatleast parameter to  get_mset().

        In particular, if there are enough matching documents, at least the
        number specified by checkatleast will be passed to the matchspy. This
        means that you can force the matchspy to be shown all matching
        documents by setting checkatleast to the number of documents in the
        database.

        Parameters:
        -----------

        spy:  The MatchSpy subclass to add. The caller must ensure that this
        remains valid while the Enquire object remains active, or until
        clear_matchspies() is called.

        Parameters:
        -----------

        collapse_key:  value number to collapse on - at most one MSet entry
        with each particular value will be returned (default is
        Xapian::BAD_VALUENO which means no collapsing).

        collapse_max:  Max number of items with the same key to leave after
        collapsing (default 1).

        The MSet returned by get_mset() will have only the "best" (at most)
        collapse_max entries with each particular value of collapse_key
        ("best" being highest ranked - i.e. highest weight or highest
        sorting key).

        An example use might be to create a value for each document containing
        an MD5 hash of the document contents. Then duplicate documents from
        different sources can be eliminated at search time by collapsing with
        collapse_max = 1 (it's better to eliminate duplicates at index time,
        but this may not be always be possible - for example the search may be
        over more than one Xapian database).

        Another use is to group matches in a particular category (e.g. you
        might collapse a mailing list search on the Subject: so that there's
        only one result per discussion thread). In this case you can use
        get_collapse_count() to give the user some idea how many other results
        there are. And if you index the Subject: as a boolean term as well as
        putting it in a value, you can offer a link to a non-collapsed search
        restricted to that thread using a boolean filter.

        void Xapian::Enquire::set_docid_order(docid_order order)

        This order only has an effect on documents which would otherwise have
        equal rank. For a weighted probabilistic match with no sort value,
        this means documents with equal weight. For a boolean match, with no
        sort value, this means all documents. And if a sort value is used,
        this means documents with equal sort value (and also equal weight if
        ordering on relevance after the sort).

        Parameters:
        -----------

        order:  This can be: Xapian::Enquire::ASCENDING docids sort in

        percent_cutoff:  Minimum percentage score for returned documents. If a
        document has a lower percentage score than this, it will not appear in
        the MSet. If your intention is to return only matches which contain
        all the terms in the query, then it's more efficient to use
        Xapian::Query::OP_AND instead of Xapian::Query::OP_OR in the query
        than to use set_cutoff(100). (default 0 => no percentage cut-off).

        weight_cutoff:  Minimum weight for a document to be returned. If a
        document has a lower score that this, it will not appear in the MSet.
        It is usually only possible to choose an appropriate weight for cutoff
        based on the results of a previous run of the same query; this is thus
        mainly useful for alerting operations. The other potential use is with

        void Xapian::WritableDatabase::commit()

        For efficiency reasons, when performing multiple updates to a database
        it is best (indeed, almost essential) to make as many modifications as
        memory will permit in a single pass through the database. To ensure
        this, Xapian batches up modifications.

        This method may be called at any time to commit any pending
        modifications to the database.

        If any of the modifications fail, an exception will be thrown and the
        database will be left in a state in which each separate addition,
        replacement or deletion operation has either been fully performed or
        not performed at all: it is then up to the application to work out
        which operations need to be repeated.

        It's not valid to call commit() within a transaction.

        Beware of calling commit() too frequently: this will make indexing
        take much longer.

        Note that commit() need not be called explicitly: it will be called
        automatically when the database is closed, or when a sufficient number
        of modifications have been made. By default, this is every 10000
        documents added, deleted, or modified. This value is rather
        conservative, and if you have a machine with plenty of memory, you can
        improve indexing throughput dramatically by setting
        XAPIAN_FLUSH_THRESHOLD in the environment to a larger value.

        This method was new in Xapian 1.1.0 - in earlier versions it was
        called flush().

        Parameters:
        -----------

        Xapian::DatabaseError:  will be thrown if a problem occurs while

    def begin_transaction(self, flushed=True):

        Begin a transaction.

        void Xapian::WritableDatabase::begin_transaction(bool flushed=true)

        In Xapian a transaction is a group of modifications to the database
        which are linked such that either all will be applied simultaneously
        or none will be applied at all. Even in the case of a power failure,
        this characteristic should be preserved (as long as the filesystem
        isn't corrupted, etc).

        A transaction is started with begin_transaction() and can either be
        committed by calling commit_transaction() or aborted by calling
        cancel_transaction().

        By default, a transaction implicitly calls commit() before and after
        so that the modifications stand and fall without affecting
        modifications before or after.

        The downside of these implicit calls to commit() is that small
        transactions can harm indexing performance in the same way that
        explicitly calling commit() frequently can.

        If you're applying atomic groups of changes and only wish to ensure
        that each group is either applied or not applied, then you can prevent
        the automatic commit() before and after the transaction by starting
        the transaction with begin_transaction(false). However, if
        cancel_transaction is called (or if commit_transaction isn't called
        before the WritableDatabase object is destroyed) then any changes
        which were pending before the transaction began will also be
        discarded.

        Transactions aren't currently supported by the InMemory backend.

        Parameters:
        -----------

        flushed:  Is this a flushed transaction? By default transactions are
        "flushed", which means that committing a transaction will ensure
        those changes are permanently written to the database. By contrast,
        unflushed transactions only ensure that changes within the transaction
        are either all applied or all aren't.

        Parameters:
        -----------

        Xapian::UnimplementedError:  will be thrown if transactions are not
        available for this database type.

        Xapian::InvalidOperationError:  will be thrown if this is called at an

        Xapian::docid Xapian::WritableDatabase::add_document(const

        This method adds the specified document to the database, returning a
        newly allocated document ID. Automatically allocated document IDs come
        from a per-database monotonically increasing counter, so IDs from
        deleted documents won't be reused.

        If you want to specify the document ID to be used, you should call
        replace_document() instead.

        Note that changes to the database won't be immediately committed to
        disk; see commit() for more details.

        As with all database modification operations, the effect is atomic:
        the document will either be fully added, or the document fails to be
        added and an exception is thrown (possibly at a later time when

        A major use is for convenience when UIDs from another system are
        mapped to terms in Xapian, although this method has other uses (for
        example, you could add a "deletion date" term to documents at index

        particular date).

        Xapian::docid Xapian::WritableDatabase::replace_document(const

        This method replaces any documents indexed by the specified term with
        the specified document. If any documents are indexed by the term, the
        lowest document ID will be used for the document, otherwise a new
        document ID will be generated as for add_document.

        One common use is to allow UIDs from another system to easily be
        mapped to terms in Xapian. Note that this method doesn't automatically
        add unique_term as a term, so you'll need to call
        document.add_term(unique_term) first when using replace_document() in
        this way.

        As with all database modification operations, the effect is atomic:

        This method sets the metadata value associated with a given key. If
        there is already a metadata value stored in the database with the same
        key, the old value is replaced. If you want to delete an existing item
        of metadata, just set its value to the empty string.

        User-specified metadata allows you to store arbitrary information in
        the form of (key,tag) pairs.

        There's no hard limit on the number of metadata items, or the size of
        the metadata values. Metadata keys have a limited length, which
        depends on the backend. We recommend limiting them to 200 bytes. Empty
        keys are not valid, and specifying one will cause an exception.

        Metadata modifications are committed to disk in the same way as
        modifications to the documents in the database are: i.e.,
        modifications are atomic, and won't be committed to disk immediately
        (see commit() for more details). This allows metadata to be used to
        link databases with versioned external resources by storing the
        appropriate version number in a metadata item.

        You can also use the metadata to store arbitrary extra information
        associated with terms, documents, or postings by encoding the termname
        and/or document id into the metadata key.

        Parameters:
        -----------

        key:  The key of the metadata item to set.

        value:  The value of the metadata item to set.

        compatible with 1.2.12 and earlier, then explicitly convert to
        std::string, i.e.: DateValueRangeProcessor(1, std::string("date:"))

        Parameters:
        -----------

        slot_:  The value number to return from operator().

        str_:  A string to look for to recognise values as belonging to this
        date range.

        prefix_:  Whether to look for the string at the start or end of the
        values. If true, the string is a prefix; if false, the string is a
        suffix (default: true).

        prefer_mdy_:  Should ambiguous dates be interpreted as month/day/year
        rather than day/month/year? (default: false)

        epoch_year_:  Year to use as the epoch for dates with 2 digit years
        (default: 1970, so 1/1/69 is 2069 while 1/1/70 is 1970).

        The string supplied in str_ is used by operator() to decide whether
        the pair of strings supplied to it constitute a valid range. If
        prefix_ is true, the first value in a range must begin with str_ (and
        the second value may optionally begin with str_); if prefix_ is false,
        the second value in a range must end with str_ (and the first value
        may optionally end with str_).

        If str_ is empty, the setting of prefix_ is irrelevant, and no special
        strings are required at the start or end of the strings defining the
        range.

        The remainder of both strings defining the endpoints must be valid
        dates.

        For example, if str_ is "created:" and prefix_ is true, and the
        range processor has been added to the queryparser, the queryparser
