Hello misc,
I must install a search facility for my site. Do you know what is the most
appropriate (Harvest, ht://Dig, Nutch?). I've used Nutch (from
Apache.org) before on my old Slackware 10.1 machine and I didn't like it very
much (a lot of things to be done by hand). I'm asking that
because I know the chroot(2) facility that Apache has on OpenBSD can cause a
lot of trouble.

I installed dpsearch from http://www.dataparksearch.org. You can see it
in action on http://www.wykids.org.
It isn't any trouble at all to get working in the chroot. My config file
was:
./configure \
--prefix=/dpsearch \
--with-pgsql \
--with-openssl \
--with-zlib \
--without-docs \
--without-aspell \
--enable-all-static
This will install everything into /dpsearch, you can then make a
/var/www/dpsearch and copy everything across. Documentation isn't up to
OpenBSD standards, but that's a pretty high bar ;-) Still, I was able to
get it running with minimum fuss.
I've been contemplating making a port, but haven't yet looked into what
all is involved.
Hope that helps!
Jeff
