Subject: [htdig] htsearch Exclude/ Restrict Problem
> Hello,
>
> I am unable to restrict my searching using exclude and restrict on
multiple
> search forms.
> After many hours of reading and searching I find I'm stumped and need your
> help.
>
> Of all the archives I've been through I find mention of an htsearch
> Exclude/ Restrict / RegEx problem only in very old messages. Nothing
recent.
>
> Version 3.1.2 running in an Earthlink shared hosting environment.
>
> Entire site indexed in one common database.
>
> Only concerned with a sub-directory structure of the site with directories
of:
> /journal/* (a variety of subdirectories)
>
> Including these specific directories:
> /journal/abstracts
> /journal/abstracts.97
> /journal/abstract98
> /journal/abstracts.99
>
> I'd like one search form to only search the abstracts:
> restrict="abstracts" (I think I have this working OK. Need more testing to
> verify)
>
> I'd like another search form to search only the journal:
> exclude="abstracts" restrict="journal"
> (i.e. include only urls that have the string "journal" in them, but
exclude
> any url with the string "journal/abstra" in them.
>
> I cannot get this to work. Can it be done? Are they simple text strings or
> are they Regular Expressions? If RE's, which syntax? Are exclude and
> restrict mutually exclusive?
>
> I don't have the expertise to understand the guts of the htsearch code,
but
> from the user documentation it looks like this should work.

> Thanks for any guidance or suggestions.
