Yes, that's a new feature in 3.1.6, which was much requested before. ... > > I am very new to htdig, and I would like to find out what the total > > number of documents is in an existing document database.

The 'not' operator in htsearch is binary, not unary, and it essentially implies 'and not'. The other trick to getting the total number of documents in an existing document database, in 3.1.x, is to run htmerge -s. It will take a little while, for a large database, because it regenerates some of the database files, but htmerge can be run more than once on a database generated by htdig without harm. -- Gilles R.
