NAME
htsearch - create document index and word database for the ht://Dig search engine
SYNOPSIS
htsearch [options] [query_string]
DESCRIPTION
Htsearch is used to sift through the databases created by htdig for content. It is the actual search
engine of the htdig search system. It is a CGI program that is expected to be invoked by an HTML form. It
will accept both the GET and POST methods of passing data to the CGI program.
OPTIONS
query_string
A CGI-style query string can be given as a single argument, and is only used if the REQUEST_METHOD
environment variable is not set. If no query_string is given, and REQUEST_METHOD is not set,
htsearch will prompt for the query.
-c configfile
Use the specified configfile instead of the default (for security reasons this option is only
available when htsearch is used on the command line).
-v -d Run in verbose mode. This increases the verbosity of the program. Using more than 2 is probably
only useful for debugging purposes. The default verbose mode gives a progress on what it is doing
and where it is.
FILES
/etc/htdig/htdig.conf
The default configuration file.
/etc/htdig/header.html
