In htdig 3.1.5, you can "trick" it to index local files rather than
web pages by feeding it a cooked up start_url, and mapping that URL,
and anything under it, to the local directory you want to index using the
local_urls attribute. You'll also want to set local_urls only. Finally,
you'll also need to map the cooked up "http://" URLs back to "file:/"
URLs so that the links in htsearch's results point to the correct pages.
You can do this using different settings of url_part_aliases for htdig
and htsearch. See http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html for descriptions of
all these attributes.
In htdig 3.2.0b1, there is support for indexing "file:/" URLs directly,
but there are still a number of bugs in that beta release, so I don't
know how well it would work for you. 3.2.0b2, which is still in the
works, promises to be somewhat more solid.
