If you use the GET method in your search form, rather than POST, you'll
be able to see in your access log what search terms were used, so you
can reproduce the problem.
However, you may want to try out the htdig-3.2.0b4-090301.tar.gz snapshot
from ftp://ftp.htdig.org/pub/htdig/snapshots/, to see if it helps with
this problem. I don't know if any changes addressed this problem directly
(it's been reported before, but never consistently enough for us to pin
it down), but it has a large number of other bug fixes, some of which
could possibly indirectly prevent this. Let us know if the problem
persists with the latest snapshot, and see if you can come up with a
reproduceable test case.
