It does exactly that unless you give it the -m switch, at which point it just adds/updates the pages you specify. > Another thing that confuses me about the example above is the parameter > that follows the -m switch.

I'll have to read the code to see why, looks like a command-line parsing problem. > Other than that, if I want to update existing index database files, > letting the users search the current databases while htdig is finishe, > adding -a switch to the htdig command line will work ok whe just > updating a few URLs as you suggest? The 'alt work files' command line option is another way to do what you described above (with the -m switch). > Should I follow htdig command with the usual htmerge and htfuzzy command > calls as in a full reindex? Htmerge is only necessary when you are merging two databases... the above scenario doesn't need it. > If this works ok like this, that will solve my problem as I need.
