Raschin, 1. If you delete a file after it has been indexed, htsearch will retrieve it from the htdig databases, but the browser won't find it anymore, thus resulting in a 404 error (File Not Found).
2. The are two ways (by my knowledge) to create te databases. First, starting htdig in a normal way, it will delete the existing databases, and then creates new ones. Htsearch will therefor not retrieve anything usefull until the whole search is completed. The other way is running htdig with, I believe, the -a option. This will force htdig to create temporary workfiles. These will contain the new data, and as soon as htdig has finished spidering your website you can delete the old databases and then move the new databases in their place. This can all be done with a script. Hope this helps!

I have a general question...do there are any conflicts if I delete files after(or while) having indexed the whole directory-structure? 2 questions: 1.Where does htsearch's results will link to if the files don't exist anymore? 2.Is htdig deleting its entries in the database to fix this with the next indexing? thx in advance raschin ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
