Hello, if you `git clone git://git.debian.org/collab-maint/apt-xapian-index.git' you find a little program called `axi-cache' which is like apt-cache for apt-xapian-index.
You can search this way: ./axi-cache search foo bar baz facet::tag sec:section In fact, you can use most of the things described here: http://xapian.org/docs/queryparser.html You can then say `./axi-cache more' to get more results. You can repeat the last search with `./axi-cache again' and you can add bits to the last search by providing more keywords to the again command. You can search tags instead of packages by adding --tags It will suggest extra terms for the search, and also suggest extra tags. It can even correct spelling mistakes in the query terms once I upload the new version of update-apt-xapian-index. It also has a mode to integrate with bash-completion to suggest query terms as you're typing the query, I need to enroll David Paleino for help in writing the bash-completion script to see if it works. Searches are saved in ~/.cache/axi-cache.state Please give it a try, and if you have ideas for improving it before I first upload it to unstable, please don't hold them back.
