[pasting an old mail from me] As KDE 2 propose to use the search engine ht://Dig for the search of his documentation, should ht://Dig get in cooker now ? If so, I suggest also : -- you add the accent patch to manage fuzzy searching on accented caracters (everyday users of ht://Dig know how important it is). For the accent patch see : <ftp://sol.ccsf.cc.ca.us//htdig-patches/3.1.5/accents.5> -- Linux-Mandrake also should have a better integration of ht://Dig (links with dictionnaries, better integration with Apache, external parsers, and so on (I can discribe precisaly if you intend to do it)). -- Last ht://Dig Mandrake RPM package also have some problem to work : I suggest to see the problem of the sorting process when we use accented caracters. I discribe it and publish a solution in the htdig mailing list. See : http://www.htdig.org/mail/2000/05/0242.html Of course, in next Mandrake release, ht://Dig even should be automatically installed if KDE 2 package is chosen in the install process. I tested the search tool in KDE 2 : it works great ! Just try it ! May be it should be adapted simply to other window managers (it's a web based application). Charles Népote.
