Re: [htdig] All search results end in .gif

[Rusty Nejdl]

Gilles,

I applies the simpler solution first, which was to add the url_part_aliases
line as follows:

#URL Alias for Patching .gif bug
url_part_aliases: https:// https://www. http:// http://www. ftp:// ftp://ftp.
/pub/ .html .htm .gif .jpg .jpeg /index.html /index.htm .com/ .com mailto:

However, after rebuilding the search database, no change.  

So, this is where I get to the depth of my knowledge.  I thought that I 
applied the patch correctly, but I guess I didn't.  Where is the htsearch
patch that I need to apply?  How do I apply it?  And, how do I know which patch
to use?

Thanks in advance!

Rusty
