Both of those query strings contain "words=" with no string between the "=" and the "&", meaning no search words are given. With no words to look for, the search will always return the "no matches" page. You need to specify search words, or if you want to match all documents, use "*" (without the quotes) as the search word. See http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#prefix_match_character -- Gilles R.
