greetings,

i'm a new user to htdig (3.1.5).  things are working great except for one 
thing..

htdig is indexing my alt tags from my images, and i don't want this to 
happen.  i've got a standard header at the top of all my pages and it's the 
alt tags from the images in my header that gets displayed as part of the 
search results.

looking through the archives for this list, it looks like this is a recent 
feature.. and that there should be a configuration tag to disable it (see 
http://www.htdig.org/htdig3-dev/1999/06/0004.html).  i've looked through 
the source for HTML.cc and it appears that there _is_ a configuration 
directory to ignore alt tags.. only i don't know what it is :(  img_factor 
isn't listed as a valid configuration variable.

for the time being i've commented out the alt section of code from HTML.cc, 
however as this solution isn't that portable (ie it probably will be 
forgotten when it comes time to upgrade htdig) i'm keen on putting the 
appropriate entry into the .conf file.  is anyone able to shed some light 
on this matter for me?

also, while the database is being built, if i do a search, the results come 
back with the correct number of results, however no results are shown.  is 
it possible for either htsearch to be fixed so that is shows results, or 
for htsearch to display a message stating that the database is being 
rebuilt and to try again later?

thanks,

byron
