[htdig-dev] htdig (3.1.6) search tips?

[Robert R. <ri...@li...>]

Ok, filling up the list.

could you add the resolution of  bug 165420 to the todo list on the webpage?

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=165420

Its about search tips, or rather the syntax of expressions.

Perhaps a FAQ entry on the syntax of search expressions?
Thanks

Robert

Greetings Robert,

Thanks for pointing that out to us.  (Out of interest, the best way to 
"handball" issues to us through the sourceforge bug list 
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=4593&atid=104593>.)

How does the attached documentation (for 3.2) rate?  Please comment on 
it before I commit it.

Thanks,
Lachlan

What you prove here is certainly a good start; however the focus of it 
is clearly the developer of the search form.

What the authors of the bug had in mind was probably something more 
along the lines of:

http://www.google.ch/help/basics.html

or

http://www.google.ch/help/refinesearch.html

The focus of those documents is the end-user, not the developer of the 
search form.

I'll provide such a page shortly

A document like this is ok, please commit (and provide a patch to 3.1.6, 
so I can add it as well.. Perhaps link to a shorter version of it from 
the default search template?


How much difference will there be between 3.1.6 and 3.2 beta ? (As you 
know, 'htdig' is going ot be the stable version; the beta will be 
packahed as htdig 3.2)
