Greetings, This should be a lesson to me about posting bug reports from memory... (One day I'll get my development machine on line :)

It turns out that *short* words are handled correctly (ignored by htdig and htsearch), but "bad" words are not. They are not inserted into the inverted file, but they *are* counted by HTML.cc (and presumably by other parsers) when determining the location of subsequent words. The backward-compatible fix is to fix htsearch (a five line patch) but the more elegand solution would be to change htdig to treat the two consistently. My preference would be to specify the *true* location of all words, even counting short words. That way we could distinguish between a true phrase match and a "phrase match, but possibly with short words in between". However, we completely ignoring both short and "bad" words would be a step in the right direction. > - I think I may have broken the code to stop "index.html" > being stripped from "file:///" URLs.
