I'm not sure how you had it working in the first place, if this was
with 3.1.5. You must have had some value in the "words" input parameter,
because htsearch 3.1.5 (and earlier) doesn't like it when you have
"keywords" but no "words". Here's a patch that fixes this:
ftp://ftp.ccsf.org/htdig-patches/3.1.5/any_keywords.0
The Apache auto-index stuff made the keyword "doc" match any .doc file,
because the index uses the file names as link description text for the
link to the file, and with a non-zero description_factor, these words
have weight in the search.
