ht://Dig

Found the problem.  The search is handled by a php script and I was
double quoting the Query string when it was being sent to htsearch,
thanks for the help!

Hi,

I have noticed that there is a problem updating the index on our 
Website, which uses HTDig.

Our domain is:  http://www.hotrodnostalgia.com/

Our hosting provider is Verio who provides HTDig as a feature in the 
hosting plan.  We formerly used the Excite search which they 
originally licensed, and it worked very reliably for us.

We were told of the change to HTDig last year, and managed to get it 
looking and functioning well with some help from the Verio support 
team, but it has been quite a while now.

For some reason now, indexing the Site seems to only produce results 
from the index page of the Site, not from any of the files in the 
subdirectories, and Verio Support's only reply said that I should 
look at your FAQ page, and that is all the help they seem to be 
willing to provide.

Is there an easy explanation of where I need to go to correct this 
problem?  I can't tell which of the FAQs apply to this issue.  We 
made the change to HTDig quite some time ago, so I have completely 
forgotten how to work with the application to correct this issue.  I 
am not a programmer per se, but can figure some things out if given a 
decent clue.

Thanks for checking this out,

Im a novice HTdig user, but installed htdig on our server a couple a years
ago.

suddenly I find that searching .pdffiles no longer works. rundig -i
ourputs following

Deleted, no excerpt: ID: 150 URL:  http://www.acnord.dk/pdf/vold.pdf 

for each .pdffile it references

what has happened? I take some up2date has changed something.

greetings
finn

I suggest you to go in the 3.2.0b5 source build directory and type:

make uninstall

then, I think if is safer if you re-type make install as far as 3.1.6 
version is concerned.

Which options did you specify with configure for 3.2.0b5?

Ciao,

Does http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q5.2 help?
