You don't need to install it into every students account. However, 
you'll need to put the htsearch binary into a place that allows it to 
be a properly treated CGI. On some servers, this is a special 
directory. On other servers this is done by giving it a .cgi 
extension.

You may or may not want to have a separate config file for each 
student (e.g. to let them change the format of search results). But 
it's best to put all of these in the same place.
