For general information: this is how, apparently, a person who does not host
their own website is hooked up to ht:/Dig:
GD: The important questions are, what is the value of "config" in your
search
form, and what is the value of "CONFIG_DIR" in your source tree's CONFIG
file? If CONFIG_DIR is something other than /home/I/the/user/htdig,
where your htdig.conf file is, or if the search form's setting of the
"config" input parameter is not "htdig", then htsearch will not use your
/home/I/the/user/htdig/htdig.conf file and will not see the changes you
made to it
Response by my host:
CONFIG_DIR is set to /usr/local/web/htdig/conf. In that directory,
user.conf is symbolically linked (like an alias or shortcut) to
~user/htdig/htdig.conf. Changes to that config file are effective
On the version made available to me, the word is:
The version of htdig installed on our server does not have the
start_highlight and end_highlight attributes.
Is this reasonable? In any case I have requested a list of which attributes
are available.
Meanwhile, I do not want to be pushy about this, but if it has been
forgotten, I need to revive it, it is a vital aspect of my ability to use
ht://Dig on my site:
I checked back on my original correspondence and at that point it was
indicated that this would not be a big problem using the
extra_word_characters attribute. But I need to understand how to implement
this. Simply placing these extra characters in the list is not going to help
me. My users do not use these characters to search for the words. Again,
back at the original correspondence about this the thought was that "...I
would guess that you'd want to work out a mapping using the "accent" fuzzy
match, including for your convention."
I just finished a frustrating look-see at the ht/dig site and at the source
forge link I was given earlier for this "accent" fuzzy match thing, and came
up with nothing.
So, this is the issue again: where can I get more information about how to
accomplish what I need to do with the feature, or in any other way to
accomplish what I am trying to accomplish?
As described previously: I have a special font, where I have substituted
certain characters for characters with diacritical marks (Maybe this isn't
clear: the user does not compose with this font, they see the characters
with the macrons and under-dots, and so forth (the ASCII character for £ has
been deleted from the font and the A with a macron has been put in it's
place); when they search, they will simply type the word without the macron
or underdot. A user must be able to type in a search for the word "Dana",
for example, which is spelled with a macron over the first a, and find in
the list of search results those words using the ASCII equivalent of "D¤na"
as a match.) i need to be able to search a page that has these characters
and return a result which lists the words as though they did not have the
diacritical marks. These are the other characters:
¡ = A; ¢ = a; £ = A; ¤ = a; ¥ = E; ¦ = e; § = I; ¨ = i; © = O; ª = o; « = U;
¬ = u; ¿ = D; À = d; ¯ = H; ° = h; ± = L; ² = l; ³ = m; ´ = M; µ = m; ¶ = M;
· = m; ¸ = n; ¹ = N; º = n; » = N; ¼ = n; ½ = n; Á = T; Â = t
