Well, that depends on what the problem is. Note that htdig's bad_words list is not a list of stop words in the sense that htdig would stop indexing if it encounters one of these words. It merely suppresses these words from the search database, and from the search query. So, given that, what you describe above doesn't sound like a problem to me. If the apostrophe is in valid_punctuation, as it is by default, then when htdig encounters a word like "l'asthme" it will try to index the whole word, stripped of punctuation, plus any component parts of it. In this case, the "l" is suppressed, so only "asthme" and "lasthme" go into the word database. htsearch doesn't do the splitting, however, so a query for "l'asthme" would only match "lastme" in the database, while a query for "asthme" would match "asthme" in the database, whether it came from the word by itself, or from "l'asthme" after the "l'" was stripped off. So, it's logical that it would get more matches. -- Gilles R. Detillieux E-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Spinal Cord Research Centre WWW: http://www.scrc.umanitoba.ca/ Dept.
