Hi all, I've gotten my web host to install htdig for me. I don't have shell access, but can edit the conf file. I've got these settings in the .conf file, yet a search for any word that begins with numbers returns no results. search_algorithm: exact:1 synonyms:0.5 endings:0.1 allow_numbers: true rundig is run as cron every morning. Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong? Or anything I should try? thanks alan |

Or anything I should try? Do searches appear to be working correctly otherwise? You shouldn't even need to enable allow_numbers in order to pick up terms that begin with numbers, unless those terms consist only of numbers. Have you verified that the pages that contain the expected terms are in fact being indexed? Have you or your host made any other modifications to the config file being used for indexing? Jim |

I was misinterpreting the results I was getting. In fact numbers were working on the pages that were indexed. Thanks for pointing me in the right directions with questions I should have asked myself. alan |
