Full-text search engine: supports phrase searching, wildcard-searching and AND/OR searching (Xapian - http://xapian.org/)

The results that are returned are ranked according to their create date.
Possibility to use AND, OR, NOT, XOR in your searches.
For example, “research project” will look for occurrences of these words as an exact phrase, but you can also search for “research NEAR project” to find occurrences of the words “research” and “project” that are within 10 words of each other. You can even write “research NEAR/3 project” to change the proximity threshold to three.
If, for example, you search for “programmer,” you can find articles that mention “programmers” or “programming”. Xapian currently supports stemming in Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish.
