+xapian (search engine library)
+
+Xapian is an Open Source Search Engine Library, released under
+the GPL. It's written in C++, with bindings to allow use from
+Perl, Python, PHP, Java, Tcl, C#, and Ruby (so far!) 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.
+
+The homepage of xapian is found at http://www.xapian.org/
+
+xapian-core does not seem to depend on other packages.
+No incompatibilites of the used version are known so far.
+NOTE: Version 0.9.10 works ok with the file search utility recoll,
+version 1.0.0 does NOT work with recoll (at the time of writing).
+No special configuration is needed after installing the package.
