By "index," here you seem to mean the word list. You're describing the nature of fuzzy matching--the closest current algorithm to what you describe might involve the synonyms file. <http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#search_algorithm> (The particular example you gave could be run with the prefix algorithm, but I'm assuming you also might want to add in "soccer" for "football," etc.) If none of the particular fuzzy algorithms meet your needs, it's not too difficult to code an additional one from the examples in ht://Dig already. So your "show connected words" would call htsearch with the same query, but a different config file with the appropriate search_algorithm setting. -- -Geoff Hutchison Williams Students Online http://wso.williams.edu/ ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Jabber Inc.
