    Xapian is a highly adaptable toolkit which allows developers to easily
    add advanced indexing and search facilities to their own applications.
    It has built-in support for several families of weighting models
    and also supports a rich set of boolean query operators.

    In addition to the doc strings provided by this python library, you
    may wish to look at the library's overall documentation, either
    installed along with the bindings or online at
    <https://xapian.org/docs/bindings/python/>, as well as the library's
    documentation, possibly installed with the library or with its
    development files, or again online at <https://xapian.org/docs/>.

        A handle representing a document in a Xapian database.

        The Document class fetches information from the database lazily.
        Usually this behaviour isn't visible to users (except for the speed
        benefits), but if the document in the database is modified or deleted,
        then preexisting Document objects may return the old or new versions
        of data (or throw Xapian::DocNotFoundError in the case of deletion).

        Since Database objects work on a snapshot of the database's state, the
        situation above can only happen with a WritableDatabase object, or if
        you call Database::reopen() on a Database object.

        We recommend you avoid designs where this behaviour is an issue, but
        if you need a way to make a non-lazy version of a Document object, you
        can do this like so:doc =

            Xapian::DateRangeProcessor::DateRangeProcessor

            Parameters:
            -----------

            slot_:  The value slot number to query.

            str_:  A string to look for to recognise values as belonging to this
            date range.

            flags_:  Zero or more of the following flags, combined with bitwise-
            or: Xapian::RP_SUFFIX - require str_ as a suffix instead of a prefix.

            Xapian::RP_REPEATED - optionally allow str_ on both ends of the range
            - e.g. $1..$10 or 5m..50m. By default a prefix is only checked for on
            the start (e.g. date:1/1/1980..31/12/1989), and a suffix only on the
            end (e.g. 2..12kg).

            Xapian::RP_DATE_PREFER_MDY - interpret ambiguous dates as
            month/day/year rather than day/month/year.

            epoch_year_:  Year to use as the epoch for dates with 2 digit years
            (default: 1970, so 1/1/69 is 2069 while 1/1/70 is 1970).

            The string supplied in str_ is used by operator() to decide whether
            the pair of strings supplied to it constitute a valid range. If
            prefix_ is true, the first value in a range must begin with str_ (and
            the second value may optionally begin with str_); if prefix_ is false,
            the second value in a range must end with str_ (and the first value
            may optionally end with str_).

            If str_ is empty, the Xapian::RP_SUFFIX and Xapian::RP_REPEATED are
            irrelevant, and no special strings are required at the start or end of
            the strings defining the range.

            The remainder of both strings defining the endpoints must be valid
            dates.

            For example, if str_ is "created:", Xapian::RP_SUFFIX is not
            specified, and the range processor has been added to the queryparser,
            the queryparser will accept "created:1/1/2000..31/12/2001".
