Keep in mind that ht://Dig already provides a full web search interface including HTML templates and useful template variables, along with full "fuzzy matching" algorithms such as metaphone, synonyms (thesaurus), word endings (stemming), substring, etc. If your website is database-driven, I can see a number of reasons it'd make sense to index it with ht://Dig or a similar website search engine. If you have a database and it's not a website, it seems a little strange to me to do this.
