Is there any way to look inside the htdig databases to see if the excerpts are in fact in there?
My config file has max_head_length set to 50000, no_excerpt_show_top set to true, excerpt_length set to 300 (default), and no_excerpt_text undefined. Recently we made some changes to the site being indexed. The changes cause the dig to fail (the site was returning some 400 code: this page has moved, I think, can't remember, anyway...). No documents were indexed and the database was basically empty. We fixed the problem and reindexed, but now the excerpts aren't being returned. I tried sending /var/www/cgi-bin/htsearch "words=allstate&config=hci" via the command line to see the raw output, and no excerpt appears to be returned, which makes me think no excerpt exists. We're running rundig.sh as a cron job and I believe that script only updates the database. Should I, perhaps, delete the databases and run rundig.sh from scratch?
