[htdig] Parsing search returns

[Adam P. <ap...@th...>]

Hi everyone,

First off, this is a great product. *All* of my troubles have turned out to
be related to our new load-balancing architecture, not htdig, and when I've
worked out all the kinks I'll post a workaround summary for others.

A couple questions I couldn't find the answers to in the archives:

1. Is there a way to strip out elements from the search returns? In our
case, each <title> tag in the site includes the site name. So headers from
search returns kook like this:

The Onion | Damn You, Hearst!
The Onion | I Miss My Old Sled
The Onion | Drop Dead, Every Last One of You!

Pretty silly, right? I'd like to parse that repeating element out,
preferable without employing an auxiliary script.

2. I see that there are configuration attributes for translate_latin1,
translate_amp, and translate_lt_gt: false

I thought translate_latin1: false might work, but I'm still getting the
entity &#151;

printing out on the page instead of the em-dash in search results. Is there
a config attribute I'm missing?

Thanks!
