RE: [htdig] Searching multiple sites

[Johnson, S]

Thanks for your response.   I didn’t get any errors on rundig (I did the –vvv on the rundig so I could see everything that was going on).   I’m not sure what you are referring to on the restrictions <!-- <noindex> ->  If you are referring to the html code, then I don’t believe so.  I just went into a couple of pages and didn’t see anything like this listed in the code...   Any other ideas?   Thanks!   -----Original Message----- From: Craig Wallace [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2003 10:35 AM To: Johnson, S; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [htdig] Searching multiple sites   Hi,   I have four sites and one htdig collection and use multiple start_url pages as you did.  I use a hidden form field called restrict as you mentioned to restrict results and that works fine.  If I want to see results from all my sites I use restrict="" in the hidden field and that gives me results from all sites.  Have you placed any restrictions on your indexing such as using <!-- <noindex> --> comments or suchlike?  Do you get any errors from rundig?    Craig   -----Original Message----- From: Johnson, S [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 06 November 2003 16:24 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [htdig] Searching multiple sites Our environment:   9 schools in 1 school district   Needs:   The ability to search an individual school or all schools at one time   What I've done:   I read through the FAQ and decided to do the htdig on each of the sites into one file by placing all the urls on the start_url: line separated by a space in the htdig.conf file.   I performed the htdig which took a very long time (which I expected).  After which I verified the DB files and they're around 15 mb in size.  So I'm thinking that it did gather all the search info on the sites.   Now when I go to search I type in a term that should bring up hundred of terms but only get 1 hit.  This hit happens to be on the first site I search which is only one page in length.   I re-read the FAQ and it talks about using restrict to search multiple sites.  I looked at the description for this metatag and it didn't really explain what I needed to do to use this.  I then looked at the search.html file that I got from htdig to test.  I noticed a restrict line in there so I typed in the url I wanted to restrict the search on (http://mysite.school.k12.mn.us) and reloaded the form in my browser.  It now doesn't find anything...   Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to fix this?   How do I search on everything in the database?   Thanks for your help.
