Hi guys,
I would like to ask for help. I am trying to configure xapian 3.0.7 compiled with enabled xapian support
to actually use xapian indexes.
This is my imapd.conf:
# Suggested minimal imapd.conf
# See imapd.conf(5) for more information and more options
# Space-separated users who have admin rights for all services.
# NB: THIS MUST BE CONFIGURED
admins: cyrus

Although squatter is creating index and everything looks ok in /var/cyrus/search,
imapd is not accessing any index or database and according to strace monitoring which
i did, it accesses all mail files and not only the one containing my searched string or at least smaller set of files.
I am creating 1 mailbox user/joe and delivering 1000 mails containing short random sets of words.
I triggered search with imtest and commands:
a SELECT "user/joe"
b SEARCH TEXT "monday"
Can anybody please explain to me, in what circumstances is the index supposed to work or what
am i doing wrong?
Thanks for any help or information.
