Geoff,
Certainly hopcounts are not reliable in _full_ index runs with 3.1.5 - I
recall we (or possibly it was Gilles and I) have had some e-versation on
the matter before and it may be about to resurface. I have just been
adding a little extra to my report script to tabulate all the indexed
pages by hop count (in one file per server). It is clear that 3.1.5
doesn't always increment the hopcount for new pages. Indeed it can under
(as yet unclear circumstances) bury quite deeply and still only have the
hopcount set to 1. Evidence is available but I won't bore you with it
here/now since this might be code that has changed substantially for 3.2!
regards,
Malcolm.
