Hello, all.
I asked a few days ago if anyone had heard of a search engine that can
return frames in their proper framesets. Most of the responses to my query
were met with, "Why do that? It would slow things down." Which is valid. If
it were ever part of htdig, it would be a niche option, I'd guess, that
would be turned off by default and used by only a few people. But in certain
cases it would be really helpful.
I've had a few ideas of how to do this since before I even heard of htdig,
so I want to try to flesh them out and see if I can add the capability to
htdig.
Someone mentioned MondoSearch as the only enginge they knew of that could do
that already, so I called them and talked to their sales manager. He sent me
a comparison of several search engines and ht://Dig is mentioned, so if
you're interested in seeing what they say, I've converted it from Excel to
HTML and posted it here:

ht://Dig is rated as having "limited" search result customization
capability, which I would dispute.
Another feature MondoSearch has that's nice is categorization of search
results by site-defined categories. Has anyone else looked at this? Do a
search at http://www.newcity.com/newcity/ to see the method.
Just thinking out loud, I guess.
