That's fine, these do not need to be in a web
accessible directory.

You'll want to copy htsearch to your cgi directory
it is probably located here:
/opt/www/htdig/bin/htsearch

Josh,

This is what I have at the moment, maybe I'm describing it incorrectly 
because I thought that was where the problem was.  When I try to run 
/cgi-bin/htsearch in a web browser this is what comes back :

--
ht://Dig error

htsearch detected an error. Please report this to the webmaster of this 
site. The error message is:
Unable to read word database file
Did you run htmerge?
--

now htmerge ran with the script the first time, and I have run it 
manually afterwards as well, which is why I thought the search wasn't 
finding the database at all.
Is there a way to get more information when the cgi script returns a 
result?
