*laugh* I appear to have issues in all my emails today. I might as well just head back to bed as the extra coffee doesn't seem to have helped! I think in one instance of troubleshooting I actually made my "head" larger than the "doc_size" to force the pages into submission. In the end it was manually deleting databases that got the results to appear the way I wanted them to. > The rule of thumb is that max_doc_size should be at least as large as > the largest file you want to index, and max_head_length is somewhere > between 0 and max_doc_size, depending on how important it is to you > to make sure an excerpt containing the search word can be displayed > (vs. how much disk space you're willing to use up to accomplish that). Because I'm indexing a discussion forum finding the max_doc_size and the max_head_length are moving targets... And while I'm here making absurd statements about The Way Things Work...does max_head_length count any content that is included in htdig_noindex bits? What about max_doc_size? The config file info says: http://htdig.org/attrs.html#max_doc_size "This is the upper limit to the amount of data retrieved for documents." Including noindex? Or omitting noindex? And you know what else I'd like? A library of config files (start_urls probably ought to be omitted so that people don't index other peoples' sites by mistake). I learn a LOT from reading other peoples configs... emma :) -- Emma Jane Hogbin [[ 416 417 2868 ][ www.xtrinsic.com ]] ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ htdig-general mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, send a message to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with a subject of unsubscribe FAQ: http://htdig.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html
