I just had a look at the ssl.3 patch on the ftp.ccsf.org archive,
and it does indeed add a couple new items to the front of the list for
the compiled-in value of url_part_aliases.  So, the behaviour you're
describing is consistent with building a database with a patched htdig
and htmerge, but searching with an unpatched htsearch.  In the patched
code, .html is the 8th item in the list, while in the unpatched code
.gif is the 8th item in the list.  Either install the patched htsearch
on your system, or add the following to your search config file:

url_part_aliases: https:// https://www. http:// http://www. ftp:// ftp://ftp. /pub/ 
.html .htm .gif .jpg .jpeg /index.html /index.htm .com/ .com mailto:

Well, I guess it's got enough features!  :)
