Well, you certainly don't want to use -i because that removes the existing database and starts over from scratch. Gabriele, your suggestion had been the standard advice we gave for this in the past. However, if you're running 3.1.6 or a recent 3.2.0b4 snapshot, you can use the -m option to htdig to do "minimal" digging. You need to provide a file name argument after the -m, and that file must contain a list of URLs to be indexed. htdig will index only those URLs, using a hop count of 0 so it doesn't follow links. That would be the quickest way to update the index. In 3.1.6, you must run htmerge after running htdig, which will still take a while for a sizable index, but overall it's still faster than doing a full update run. -- Gilles R.
