[KinoSearch] Devel package - cannot access indexed fields

[Tamer Rizk]

Hi,

I recently installed and tested KinoSearch-0.162. Some features that I
would like to use such as the RangeFilter are implemented in the devel
version, so I upgraded to KinoSearch-0.20_051 on RH 2.6.9-34 i386 with
all build tests passing. I dont mind using the dev package, however I am
having trouble getting basic functionality to work such as reading
fields from the InvIndex. My configuration is very close to that
KinoSearch::Docs::Tutorial::BeyondSimple with the exception that I am
defining %conf directly in both the indexer and search scripts (instead
of reading it from a single file). After building the InvIndex,  I need
to change the file permissions on _1.cf and segments_2.yaml (defaults to
600). In search.pl I have something like:

use lib '/path/to/KIndexer.pm/';
use KIndexer;
use KinoSearch::Searcher;
use KinoSearch::QueryParser;
use KinoSearch::Highlight::Highlighter;

my $searcher = KinoSearch::Searcher->new( invindex=>KIndexer->read(
$conf{'invindexpath'} ), );

my $reader = $searcher->get_reader;
print 'docs: '. $reader->max_doc; #about 5k
print ' accessible: '.$reader->num_docs; #about 5k

my $lex = $reader->lexicon( 'summary' ); #silently croaks
$lex->next;
print "\nterm: " .$lex->get_term->get_text;

'summary', and five other fields are defined as text in package KIndexer
within our %fields. I think default mode is index and vectorize. However
, searching (even with a simple term, no query parser) yields no hits,
the highlighter chokes (when implemented according to devel docs), and
fields seem to be undefined. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tamer
