I am considering using ht://dig and one concern I have is that our systems now use all Microsoft servers. I would be willing to setup a linux box to run JUST this, but my question is, do I need to setup linux as a webserver also with software such as Apache, or will ht://dig run as a standalone program that will search through the content of the Intranet site that I want it to search from? Can you give me some insight on this issue.
Well, htsearch, the component of ht://Dig that does the actual searching and presenting of information to the browser, runs as a cgi program, so you would need Apache (or some other web server) running on the machine as well. Setting up a Linux box with Apache and ht://Dig shouldn't be a huge hassle though. (Assuming you're comfortable installing Linux.)
