Ok, now I feel like the fool. The above is correct.
The above line should be in the '<!--variables' ... '-->' section. Note
that mnogosearch does care about spaces, and if you should happen to have:
'<!-- variables' (Note the space character).
None of your nifty variable definitions will be accepted, and you will end
up attempting to diagnose a problem with your local mysql server.
So,a proposed addition for the FAQ:
Q: Why do I get '#2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server
through socket '/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)' or similar
returned by search.cgi when I've defined DBAddr (in search.htm) to
refer to a different host?
A: Mnogosearch is attempting to connect to the mysql server
running on the local machine. This may mean that Mnogosearch is
not seeing your definition of DBAddr in search.htm. Check that
you have defined 'DBAddr' as per the search.htm-dist example, and
that it is within the actual '<!--variables' block. Note that a
space between '<!--' and 'variables' will also cause problems.
