it all depends on the number of results you're dealing with. if you're 
'paging' results (e.g., 1-20, 21-40, etc.) then it's not that big a 
deal, in my experience.

I actually build a hash using the swish::api and return it from a 
routine, setting things like 'hits' and 'data' and 'query' as hash keys. 
that way I have control over all those values. I snip the 
swishdescription around the query in context, recalculate hits based on 
what I *actually* return, etc. let me know and I'll post an example.

Not sure that I'm following you exactly. You want to set a value in each 
file that you index, but the value is not IN the file, but in the 
config? No way that I know of.

But -S prog lets you do whatever you want.

Does this describe what you want to do? If so, then a little easy perl 
script could add the 'stemmed="X"' attribute for you on the fly and you 
could index with -S prog.

karman@topaz08 175% cat c

UndefinedXMLAttributes auto

karman@topaz08 176% cat test.xml
<foo stemmed="1">

</foo>
karman@topaz08 177% cat test2.xml
<foo stemmed="0">
   <bar>some text</bar>
</foo>
karman@topaz08 178% swish-e -c c -i test.xml test2.xml
