[htdig] Reasons for selecting a page.

[Fergus Toolan]

Hi, I'm using htdig as part of a recommender system to recommend web-pages on a certain web-site. We've implemented a package which uses Java, javascript and HTML to do this. During its execution it calls htsearch to find related pages. We wondered if it is possible to extract the reasons that htdig returned its results. For example, can we get a response saying something like "Htdig selected this URL because it contained the words <word list> which were also contained in the query." This isn't essential but we would be interested in something like this for research purposes.   Any Help would be appreciated Fergus Toolan Department of Computer Science University College Dublin Ireland +353-1-7062911
