So, after consultation with the bottoms of one or two bottles, and consideration of several alternative names (including "dredge", "bore", "shovel" and -- taking it in a slightly different direction -- "groove") we decided to simply send the second 'e' in "delve" off to wherever the one from creat() went. The tool will now be called "delv". (I plan to continue pronouncing it the same way.)
First, thanks for being considerate to the Xapian folks. However IMO that's not a good solution. To start with, the "delve" name was a bit silly, and didn't really trip off the tongue. Your proposed solution is suboptimal from both a product differentiation and a tab completion perspective.
If you(collectively) really cannot come up with a better name, why not crowd-source it on the ISC home page? I'm not terribly good at clever names for things like this, but I would vote for 'dq' (as in, DNS query) which has the virtue of not matching anything in the Ubuntu "did you mean?" database.
