For what it's worth, I have been having exactly the same problem on two different systems. Both systems are Debian systems and they had been running fine until I updated them from Sarge (the old stable distribution) to Etch (the newest stable distribution). When updated, nothing else was changed and the indexing still seems to work exactly as it did before, but searches always get no results. One of these systems has subsequently been updated from Etch to Lenny (the latest testing distribution) and still doesn't return results. Both had previously worked fine on the Woody and Sarge versions and all four of these Debian distributions used the htdig version 3.2.0b6, so the only conclusion I can come to is that there may have been some change in some library or compiler. I have not tried compiling my own version of htsearch, I've only used the binary distributed by debian, so I was interested to hear that you had done so on ubuntu, and with an older version of htdig, with no improvement. I would be interested to know if anyone is using htdig successfully on either the etch or lenny debian distributions.
