[...]Indeed it does, thanks for the tip ...
I think http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q4.23 covers it.
htdig doesn't normally add the URL components to the index itself, but when you index a directory where the filenames are used as link description text [...]
Well, I daresay that I didn't get the connection between the symptom and the FAQ entry when reading the FAQ prior to addressing the list.
I'd raise a little doc RFE to add:
4.23a Why do my searches find search terms in pathnames?
htdig doesn't normally add the URL components to the index itself, but when you index a directory where the filenames are used as link description text (such as an automatic DirectoryIndex created by Apache's mod_autoindex) then these link descriptions get indexed, carrying the weight assigned to them by http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#description_factor
To avoid that make sure your DirctoryIndexes don't get indexed as detailed in 4.23.
Cheers,
Karl.
