Excessive quoting may also affect non-filename searches, and there is also the capital issue, if the user is not careful about it, search results will be different (because of stemming/no stemming). > Ultimately, I should probably take snippets from recoll's sources and do > it directly to xapian rather than the fork, but this runner is meant to > be simple and small.

Recoll does quite a lot of processing before asking stuff from Xapian, I would really not recommand this (except if you want to rewrite recoll :) ) Actually I think that your approach is quite reasonable. Another possibility would be to either use the Python API or the C++ interface which is just below this: as it's use to implement the Python and PHP Apis and also the recollq program, it's quite stable, and simple (take a look at recollq). The main problem going this way would be build issues, as Recoll is not currently structured to export a library (which is why the Python approach would really be the most natural, except that your program is C++ I guess).
