For 3.2.0b?, you could check http://www.htdig.org/dev/htdig-3.2/htdump.html However in this case I am not sure that it will be of much help. > The specific flags I couldn't understand were: I am not 100% certain on all of these, but hopefully someone will correct me if I am too far off. > -id: this field is always "0" in my dumps; I think you are referring to 'document id'; at least that is how it shows up when I perform a dump. This should most definitely not be 0 in all of your dumps. This is a unique id that maps back to the document that contains the corresponding term. > -flags: if this should be the number of ocurrences of the word in > the document, it's generally incorrect in my dumps; I believe the flags field encodes context information associated with the term, such as whether it came from a title element, an h? element, a meta, etc. I think this value corresponds to the 'factor' array in initialized in the 'Retriever' constructor (Retriever.cc). I don't think this value has anything to do with the number of occurrences. > -location: this field is also "0" for all words; This value should correspond to where the word occurs in the document. As with document id, it should not be 0 for all words. Are you sure that you are reading the columns correctly? They don't actually match up with the headers in terms of horizontal placement. > -anchor: this field is empty for all entries. I think that this one is an index into the list of document anchors stored in the document database (i.e. the 'A' fieldname documented on the htload page).
