I am using the debian 12 repo versions of mailman3, django, posterious, hyperkitty, and xapian:

Before adding the HAYSTACK_CONNECTIONS options, I have this:

sharky5% sudo mailman-web haystack_info --no-color --skip-checks Number of handled 1 index(es).

• Model: Email by Index: <hyperkitty.search_indexes.EmailIndex object at 0x7fd0de1b0470>

When I add this to /etc/mailman3/maymail_web.py (adapted from the section titled: "Setting up Fulltext search (xapian)" on https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#set-up-xapian

HAYSTACK_CONNECTIONS = {

'default': {

   'PATH': "/var/lib/mailman3/web/fulltext_index",

   'ENGINE': 'xapian_backend.XapianEngine'

},

}

I get:

File "/usr/lib/python3.11/importlib/__init__.py", line 126, in import_module return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1206, in _gcd_import File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1178, in _find_and_load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1142, in _find_and_load_unlocked ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'xapian_backend'

So, do I use Xapian or not? Is something missing somewhere? Is this a documentation bug or something else?

It cannot be a documentation bug since you are NOT using/following the documentation! The message is good enough. Where is your xapian_backend,py??

wash@gw:~$ locate xapian_backend.py
/opt/mailman/mm/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/xapian_backend.py
wash@gw:~$

I hope the above gives you a clue as to where it should be found.

However, since you aren't following the documentation I am familiar with, and I am not a Python expert, my end-of-thinking capacity (/etc) is here :-)
