OK, I think Geoff cleared up the whole htpurge vs. htmerge confusion.
As for htnotify and htfuzzy, they may or may not be required.
If you don't expect ever to need the Email notification service (see:
http://htdig.sourceforge.net/notification.html), then you don't need to
run htnotify at all.
You only need to run htfuzzy if you use fuzzy search algorithms in
htsearch's search_algorithm attribute, and those algorithms need
databases other than the word database build by htdig (or htmerge in
the 3.1.x series). For example, if you use the endings or synonyms
algorithm, you need to run "htfuzzy endings" and "htfuzzy synonyms"
at least once to build these databases. They use static dictionaries,
so unless you modify the dictionary files, you shouldn't need to rebuild
these databases. Many of the other algorithms, e.g. soundex, metaphone,
accents, need databases that are rebuilt after every indexing run,
while some other fuzzy algorithms like prefix, substring and speling,
don't need any extra database as they just use the word database directly.
See http://htdig.sourceforge.net/dev/htdig-3.2/htfuzzy.html and
http://htdig.sourceforge.net/dev/htdig-3.2/attrs.html#search_algorithm
for details.
