    Xapian is a highly adaptable toolkit which allows developers to easily
    add advanced indexing and search facilities to their own applications.
    It has built-in support for several families of weighting models
    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
    <https://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 <https://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 chert and glass
            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
            depend 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 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.

        Since Database objects work on a snapshot of the database's state, the
        situation above can only happen with a WritableDatabase object, or if
        you call Database::reopen() on a Database object.

        We recommend you avoid designs where this behaviour is an issue, but

            considers the non-query terms in the text with the aim of showing a
            context which provides more useful information.

            The size of the text selected can be controlled by the length
            parameter, which specifies a number of bytes of text to aim to select.
            However slightly more text may be selected. Also the size of any
            escaping, highlighting or omission markers is not considered.

            The returned text is escaped to make it suitable for use in HTML
            (though beware that in upstream releases 1.4.5 and earlier this
            escaping was sometimes incomplete), and matches with the query will be
            highlighted using hi_start and hi_end.

            If the snippet seems to start or end mid-sentence, then omit is
            prepended or append (respectively) to indicate this.

            The same stemming algorithm which was used to build the query should
            be specified in stemmer.

            collapse_key:  value number to collapse on - at most one MSet entry

            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 = 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.

            documents with equal weight. For a boolean match with no sort key,

            It is usually only possible to choose an appropriate weight for cutoff

            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

            the strings defining the range.

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

            specified, and the range processor has been added to the queryparser,

            Parameters:

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

            flags_:  Zero or more of the following flags, combined with bitwise-
            or: Xapian::RP_SUFFIX - require str_ as a suffix instead of a prefix.

            Xapian::RP_REPEATED - optionally allow str_ on both ends of the range
            - e.g. $1..$10 or 5m..50m. By default a prefix is only checked for on
            the start (e.g. date:1/1/1980..31/12/1989), and a suffix only on the
            end (e.g. 2..12kg).

            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
            floating point numbers. (FIXME: define format recognised).

            For example, if str_ is "$" and prefix_ is true, and the range
            processor has been added to the queryparser, the queryparser will
            accept "$10..50" or "$10..$50", but not "10..50" or "10..$50"
            as valid ranges. If str_ is "kg" and prefix_ is false, the
            queryparser will accept "10..50kg" or "10kg..50kg", but not
            "10..50" or "10kg..50" as valid ranges.

            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:

            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,

            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:

            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.

            database embedded within another file. Xapian takes ownership of the
            file descriptor and will close it before returning.

            flags:  Any of the following combined using bitwise-or (| in C++):
            Xapian::DBCOMPACT_NO_RENUMBER By default the document ids will be
            renumbered the output - currently by applying the same offset to all
            the document ids in a particular source database. If this flag is
            specified, then this renumbering doesn't happen, but all the document
            ids must be unique over all source databases. Currently the ranges of
            document ids in each source must not overlap either, though this
            restriction may be removed in the future.

            Xapian::DBCOMPACT_MULTIPASS If merging more than 3 databases, merge
            the postlists in multiple passes, which is generally faster but
            requires more disk space for temporary files.

            Xapian::DBCOMPACT_SINGLE_FILE Produce a single-file database (only
            supported for glass currently) - this flag is implied in this form and
            need not be specified explicitly.

            block_size:  This specifies the block size (in bytes) for to use for
            the output. For glass, the block size must be a power of 2 between
            2048 and 65536 (inclusive), and the default (also used if an invalid
            value is passed) is 8192 bytes.

            Commit any pending modifications made to the database.

            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().

            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

            Set the user-specified metadata associated with a given key.

            void Xapian::WritableDatabase::set_metadata(const std::string &key,
            const std::string &metadata)

            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, value) 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 depend
            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.

            metadata:  The value of the metadata item to set.

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

            Xapian::DatabaseError:  will be thrown if a problem occurs while
            writing to the database.

            Xapian::DatabaseCorruptError:  will be thrown if the database is in a
            corrupt state.

            Xapian::InvalidArgumentError:  will be thrown if the key supplied is
            empty.

            Xapian::UnimplementedError:  will be thrown if the database backend in
            use doesn't support user- specified metadata.
