-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------

This module enables you to use Xapian system to do searches of a Xapian index
from within drupal.

The module doesn't verify node access rights when a node is loaded for
display after the search happened in Xapian.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the system must be using a
node access control module.
