CodeHeads: > OK, thanks Tim, I guess I can read the man page and use google. :) Sorry I wasn't more direct, but it's ages since I set mine going, and ages since I experimented with it. There are HTML docs for it installed on your system, so there's more than a "man" page. I found some of their scripts to be broken, though. You'll find out that some (all?) of the commands they detail are actually scripts. I ended up writing my own to suit my needs. The biggest bugs I found were down to it badly handling things like " or UTF-8 characters. They don't get used as they're supposed to be. e.g. Despite documentation about improvements, " will get converted to " and you'll see search results returned like this in the page: Description: "something was said Instead of: Description: "something was said And you'll see the usual effects of UTF-8 text when it's handled by something that doesn't know how to parse it. Those bugs are years old by now, and not fixed yet. If I were using htdig for anything more than in-house searching, I'd swap to using something else. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.)
