Surely not! If you put that line into a shared htdig.conf, then htdig will try to encode each and every slash in a URL as "http://123.123.123.123/"; before putting the URL in the database. Then, htsearch reverses the encoding to get back the original slashes in the URL. All you've accomplished is to waste a lot of space in the database. Definitely not what you want. I think you're mistakenly assuming that only htsearch uses url_part_aliases, when in fact both htdig and htsearch use it (as do the other ht://Dig programs for that matter). You say that your "original htdig indexing run stores URLs beginning http://123.123.123.123 in the database," but that's not what you want it to do because you want to get rid of that part. If you use Joe's suggestion, the "http://123.123.123.123/"; is encoded as "*1" in the database, and htsearch decodes this as a single slash. On the other hand, if you run htdig with no url_part_aliases setting at all, and then run htsearch with the url_part_aliases setting you proposed, it *might* work (assuming the common_url_parts encodings don't prevent the URL codec from recognizing the right hand string), but you still need two different config files. -- Gilles R.
