Where did you get the htdig-bugs list address from? It's not on the web site, as far as I can tell, and it wasn't really intended to be mailed to directly. Doing so seems to bypass the bug tracking database, and only sends directly to the relatively small number of subscribers that get e-mail alerts from the database. Discussions and questions are best held on htdig-general, and when reporting something you know to be a bug, or requesting a feature you know to be missing, it should be done through the web interface to the bug database, so it's logged correctly. As for your request, have you tried the following patch? ftp://ftp.ccsf.org/htdig-patches/3.1.5/multiboost.1 I'm thinking this should be added as an option in the next release. The patch simply boosts multiple matches in a document by a hardcoded factor of 1000. You could replace the 1000 in the patch with something like config.Value("multimatch_factor", 1) to get it to use a factor you specify in your config file, and it would default to 1, which is essentially the current (unpatched) behaviour. -- Gilles R.
