htdig-3.1.6: description + notes
The ht://Dig system is a complete world wide web indexing and
searching system for a small domain or intranet. This system
is not meant to replace the need for
powerful internet-wide search systems like Lycos, Infoseek,
Webcrawler and AltaVista. Instead it is meant to cover the
search needs for a single company, campus, or even a
particular sub section of a web site.
As opposed to some WAIS-based or web-server based search
engines, ht://Dig can span several web servers at a site. The
type of these different web servers doesn't matter as long as
they understand the HTTP 1.0 protocol.
Before you can start searching, you will need to create a
search database. A sample script to do this has been
installed as /usr/freeware/bin/rundig. This build
has been configured to use the following directories by default:
| parameter | path |
|---|
| --prefix | /usr/freeware |
| --libdir | /usr/freeware/lib32 |
| --with-cgi-bin-dir | /usr/freeware/var/www/cgi-bin |
| --with-common-dir | /usr/freeware/htdig/common |
| --with-config-dir | /usr/freeware/htdig/conf |
| --with-database-dir | /usr/freeware/htdig/db |
| --with-image-dir | /usr/freeware/var/www/htdocs/htdig |
| --with-search-dir | /usr/freeware/var/www/htdocs/htdig |
