exclude_urls seems to make it entirely ignore the file. In the
case of the index files, this means that it won't traverse the
links to get to the message files. So, if I put "threads" and
"maillist" in exclude_urls, I wind up with nothing at all!
The description of description_factor is "Plain old "descriptions"
are the text of a link pointing to a document. This factor gives
weight to the words of these descriptions of the document."
In the case of MHonArc index files, the link descriptions are
the subject fields of the messages, which are exactly what I
want it to exclude from any searches.
If I can't figure out any other way, I may just create an html
file that contains nothing but links to the msg*.html files,
with no descriptions. That will give htdig a way to find the
messages, but nothing to clutter up the search results.
Really tacky, but it ought to work...
My only other option is to figure out how to add the
"<!--htdig_noindex-->" tags before and "!--\ht..." after all of
the subject text in the indices (using TTOPBEGIN, TTOPEND, etc.)
I don't really like the idea of adding all that clutter and size
to my index files.

This makes sense! It should solve half of my problem. Thanks!

Seems like they should....I think I'm pretty close to having it
working the way I want it.
Thanks,
