NAME
htsearch - create document index and word database for the ht://Dig search engine
SYNOPSIS
htsearch "[options]" "[query_string]"
"DESCRIPTION"
Htsearch is used to search in de databases created by htdig for content. 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 commandline).

-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"

@DEFAULT_CONFIG_FILE@ The default configuration file.

@COMMON_DIR@/header.html The default search results header file

@COMMON_DIR@/footer.html The default search results footer file
