As far as I can tell, you're trying to get by with a single definition of url_part_aliases, something the documentation, and especially FAQ 4.17, are quite explicit in stating doesn't work. The last part of the description of url_part_aliases (the part that begins with a bold "Please note") does explain the example, at least the part about needing a different url_part_aliases setting in htsearch than for the other programs in order to do URL rewriting. The right hand string in each pair (the "to" string) is an arbitrary internal encoding of a part of the URL, which is converted back the the left hand string by htsearch. It MUST be a two stage process - that's how url_part_aliases was designed to work. -- Gilles R.
