Wais 2.311

Wais is a Perl module with access to freeWAIS-sf libraries. USAGE The main high-level interface are the functions Wais::Search and Wais::Retrieve. Both return a reference to an object of the class Wais::Result. Wais::Search Arguments of Wais::Search are hash references, one for each database to search. The keys of the hashes should be: query The query to submit. database The database which should be searched. host host is optional. It defaults to localhost. port port is optional. It defaults to 210. tag A tag by which individual results can be associated to a database/host/port triple. If omitted defaults to the database name. relevant If present must be a reference to an array containing alternating document ids and types. Document ids must be of type Wais:Docid. Here is a complete example: $result = Wais::Search({query => pfeifer, database => $db1, host => ls6, relevant => [$id, TEXT]}, {query => pfeifer, database => $db2}); If host is localhost and database.src exists, local search is performed instead of connecting a server. Wais::Search will open $Wais::maxnumfd connections in parallel at most..
