I have some questions about MM3 Indexing. I am using Xapian as the search engine.
- I first tested it on a small archive of 3 messages:
/opt/mailman/mm/bin/django-admin update_index_one_list test@subdomain-lists.com
It said "Indexing 3 emails". I assume that is good and then it stopped. No success message at all. Is that normal? I reran the above line and it said "Indexing 3 emails again. Is that normal behavior as well?
- In the fulltext_index folder is a lot of .seg files and other file types as well such as .glass. What are these files/folders in the fulltext_index folder?
Sorry for these questions. I am trying to learn some of the additional features of Mailman and am looking in detail at the search indexing. I have a client who is bringing over a large mbox file of archives dating back to 2006.
Thanks, Brian
