I have no idea what site you're using... I can search just fine on
htdig.sourceforge.net or www.htdig.org (now the same machine). The DNS
changed late on Friday, but I can't imagine it hasn't propagated to you
yet. What do you mean by "non-existant documents?"

Let's take this one step at a time. Let's make sure it's working as you
want from the command line.

Sure it does. It should give the conf file in the HTML source for the
form (e.g. on the nomatch page). But it sounds like it's going back to
compiled-in defaults and can't open the databases. Have you changed config
*directories* from when you installed it? Remember that htsearch needs to
know the default config directory and compiles it in for security.
