I asked this question a week or so ago and received no input, so thought 
I'd ask it again....but in a different way.

I am indexing multiple domains (i.e. domain1.com, domain2.com) and want to 
have some flexibility in allowing my end users the ability to search all 
the indexed content, or to search one or the other domain individually. 
I've played around with this for a while now and am able to successfully 
index the content using a separate config file for each domain.   My 
thought has been to then use the search form to allow the user to search 
both domains or a single domain using a checkbox and setting the 
appropriate "config" option based upon their selection.

At this point, I have the config files defined and am able to index 
content from the domains into separate dbs.   And, I can search and 
successfully return results if I search 1 of the dbs (configs) at a time.  
However, if I search while referencing both dbs (configs), the URLs 
returned are all mangled. 

Here's a URL returned when searching for the term JIT from domain1 using 
htsearch from the command line:

<a href="
http://domain1.qad.com/documentation/JIT_Sequencing/JITUserGuide/JITSequencing.pdf
">User Guide: QAD JIT Sequencing </a>

Here's a URL returned when searching for the term JIT from domain2 using 
htsearch from the command line:

<a href="
http://domain2.qad.com/production/tplib.nsf/393d6d1c86e28bae882572e600686af3/5ab9d7878a93eb2c88257015004fbe60?OpenDocument
">QAD | ServiceLinQ | Downloads | EDI ECommerce Trading Partner 
Library</a>

And here's a URL returned when searching for the term JIT from combined 
domain1 and domain2 using the following form elements (can't figure out 
how to reference two config files on the htsearch command line);

<a href="http://support-dev2.qad.comhttp://planner/Planner_UG.pdf";>User 
Guide: The Planner</a>   (This URL is mangled and cannot be followed 
successfully....)

....and the form used for searching.....

     <form method="get" action="/cgi-bin/bin/htsearch.cgi">
     <input type="text" size="30" name="words">

     <input type="hidden" name="restrict" value="">
     <input type="hidden" name="format" value="long">
     <input type="hidden" name="sort" value="revtitle">
     <input type="hidden" name="protected_icon" value="false">
     <input type="hidden" name="pdf_icon" value="false">
     <input type="hidden" name="narrowsearch" value="0">
     <input type="hidden" name="config" value="htdig-catchall">
     <input type="hidden" name="config" value="htdig-documentation">
     <input type="submit" value="Search Everything">
     </form>


Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?   Is it possible to search 
multiple domains from multiple configs/dbs (or multiple domains from a 
single config/db for that matter)?

I would really appreciate some input if you have it.

Thanks

Bruce
