Joe, Thanks! I did what you suggested and now when I search for the item it returns no items :( Your idea definitely worked though as it see it as a valid search, but I wonder if something else needs to be set.
For example if you search for "list" it returns pages that have "sort-list" on them, but if you search "sort-list" they are not returned at all. http://www.jbase.com/jsearch.html if you care to look yourself. I did do a htdig with the following options to make sure a new DB was created: htdig -v -i -a -c Any ideas? Thanks, Adam -----Original Message----- From: Joe R.

That is htdig default, even if it's not in your htdig.conf file: valid_punctuation: .-_/!#$%^&' To override the default put this line in your htdig.conf file: valid_punctuation: /!#$%^&' Add what you remove from the default to extra_word_characters: extra_word_characters: .-_ You can always visit attrs.html on http://www.htdig.org, or on your local installation for comprehensive information about htdig attributes: http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#valid_punctuation http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#extra_word_characters Regards, Joe -- _/ _/_/_/ _/ ____________ __o _/ _/ _/ _/ ______________ _-\<,_ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ ......(_)/ (_) _/_/ oe _/ _/. _/_/ ah [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ ht://Dig general mailing list: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ht://Dig FAQ: http://htdig.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html List information (subscribe/unsubscribe, etc.) https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/htdig-general
