The excerpt matching that htsearch does is separate from the word database matching. When htdig indexes a document, all the words in the body of the document, as well as those in the title, meta description, meta keywords, and even the words in the description text of links to this document all go into the word database. However, for excerpt matching, htdig only stores the first "max_head_length" characters of the body of the document. See http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#max_head_length When htsearch finds a word in the word database, it will display all matching documents, regardless of where the word was found. However, when it tries to find the same word (or words) in the max_head_length top characters of a document, sometimes this latter match will work and sometimes it won't because the words aren't there (document too big, or the search matched a meta tag or link description rather than a word in the body). If it can find a match in the excerpt, it will highlight it (see http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#start_highlight) but if it can't find it, it will either show the top of the document (see http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#no_excerpt_show_top) or some other message (see http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#no_excerpt_text). -- Gilles R.
