Gilles, (and anyone else who cares to try to resolve this!!)

I got worried yesterday afternoon that I was not going to be able to
reproduce the fault without indexing 20,000 documents. Fortunately I did
manage it with just one server and (just)under 600 documents.

I have indexed (config file at the end of this message) with a hop count
of one and then again with a hopcount of two. The result of the second run
is some 299 documents with hopcounts of 1 that were not indexed in the
first run. The output from the two runs can be seen in/fetched from

        http://wwwsearch.ox.ac.uk/h1v/
        http://wwwsearch.ox.ac.uk/h2v/

Anticipating the request I have re-run them with more output into

        http://wwwsearch.ox.ac.uk/h1vvv/
        http://wwwsearch.ox.ac.uk/h2vvv/

In each case the report directory contains the output generated by my
reporting script from htdig.stdout.

If you want more 'v's just ask. Re-indexing is probably best done from
here since I have the server and htdig on the same 100Mbps subnet but I
don't think there are any restricted access files to prevent you
reproducing the results remotely.

I have tried to look at the HTML concerned to see if it has any obvious
oddities but can't see anything. The first page indexed with a bad (ie not
incremented to 2) hopcount is -
        http://www.ox.ac.uk/blueprint/
 - linked from the left panel on  http://www.ox.ac.uk/newsf.html
 - that file has horrid HTML, the author seems to have an aversion to
closing anchors 8-( which I will take up separately. As htdig manages to
find and follow the links I don't think the bad HTML is contributing to
the bad hopcounts.

I looked at another -
        http://www.ox.ac.uk/aboutoxford/spotlight/03.01.shtml
 - linked from http://www.ox.ac.uk/aboutoxford/
 - that HTML looks cleaner wrt </a> although it still generates a large
number of validation errors.

Over to someone who knows the code I think ... thanks for anything you can
do to track this down, I think mapping pages by hopcount does give some
feeling for how likely pages are to be found by pure surfing.

regards,
        Malcolm.

Config file for htdig follows although I don't think it contains anything
to trigger the problem. This is the samne as my live config except for the
database directory and the commented out limit_urls_to line.
