I could if I knew that this was a possibility. There is no mention of
this option in the htdig documentation though.

No, it has always been that way.

I don't understand this suggestion. I added 'allow_in_form:
image_url_prefix' to the config file that htsearch uses, but there was
no change. Where am I supposed to put the $(IMAGE_URL_PREFIX), do I
need to edit the templates, this is not what I want to do.

The problem with this suggestion is that WWWOFFLE is using htdig as an
add-on. People that install WWWOFFLE won't know about how to edit the
htdig template files and I don't want to distribute the templates with
WWWOFFLE since that ties it to specific versions of htdig.
If somebody has htdig and WWWOFFLE installed and htdig and WWWOFFLE
are working separately then it should be possible for the two programs
to work together. The problem is that they cannot because the htdig
template files are specific to the URL that the htdig search uses.
The same template files cannot be used for two instances of htdig that
have different URLs. If there are two search forms on a server then
the same problem occurs. A different config file and search database
can be used, but the template files must also be duplicated which
increases the complication of upgrading to a new version.
