Use Xapian for creating a local search engine

###Install Xapian-core Xapian-core is the Xapian library itself. We have to install it from source-code

	$ wget http://oligarchy.co.uk/xapian/1.2.15/xapian-core-1.2.15.tar.gz
	$ tar xzvf xapian-core-1.2.15.tar.gz && cd xapian-core-1.2.15/
	$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local && make && make install

###Install Omega Omega utilities is an application built on Xapianm, consisting of indexers and a CGI search frontend.

	$ wget http://oligarchy.co.uk/xapian/1.3.1/xapian-omega-1.3.1.tar.gz
	$ tar xzvf xapian-omega-1.3.1.tar.gz &&  cd xapian-omega-1.3.1/
	$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local && make && make install

###Configure the CGI for apache Change the “ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ “/usr/lib/cgi-bin/"", so the httpd knows cgi binaries is put in the /usr/lib/cgi-bin directory. Then we have to copy the omega library to the /usr/lib/cgi-bin/:

	$ cd xapian-omega-1.3.1/
	$ cp omega /usr/lib/cgi-bin/omega.cgi
	$ cp omega.conf /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
	$ chmod 755 /usr/lib/cgi-bin/omega.cgi

The Configuration file /usr/lib/cgi-bin/omega.conf should looks like this:

	database_dir /var/lib/omega/data
	template_dir /var/lib/omega/templates
	log_dir /var/log/omega
	cdb_dir /var/lib/omega/cdb

Copy the templates to the new directory:

	$ cd xapian-omega-1.3.1/
	$ cp -ar /templates/* /var/lib/omega/templates/
	$ mkdir -p /var/lib/omega/data/default
	$ chmod -R 644 /var/lib/omega/data/default

Generate the database file:

	$ sudo /usr/local/bin/omindex --db /var/lib/omega/data/default --url / /home/Trusty/code/octo/debian_octopress/public/

###Result Restart the httpd daemon:

	$ systemctl restart httpd

Browser http://localhost/cgi-bin/omega.cgi you will see the following picture:
