Hi Marc, You can indeed use one htsearch executable to run with as many different config files as you like. If you're creating html forms to do the searching from, in the form you just need something like the following:
<form action="/path/htsearch.exe" method="post"> ....... ....... <input type="hidden" name="config" value="htdig1"> </form> htsearch will then look for the config file, htdig1.conf when you search using that form. Then in another form you can put <input type="hidden" name="config" value="htdig2"> and htsearch will use the config htdig2.conf when you search from that form, and so on. You can use the exclude attribute similarly, so in one form you might have <input type="hidden" name="exclude" value="http://serverA";> if you want to exclude all serverA results. Also try using the restrict attribute (see http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#restrict), so for example, if in the search form you had <input type="hidden" name="restrict" value="http://serverA";>, htsearch would only return results for serverA and exclude the others. In the examples above I've used hidden fields, but of course you don't have to make them hidden - you could create one search form with a drop down list of the fields you want to exclude / restrict, so you can then do all your searching from one form, e.g. <select name="restrict"> <option value="">All servers</option> <option value="http://serverA";>Server A only</option> <option value="http://serverB";>Server B only</option> <option value="http://serverC";>Server C only</option> </select> Hope that helps. I'd recommend you have a read through all the FAQ and all the attributes on the htdig site - there's some very useful things tucked away there! Also, always copy your emails to the htdig mailing list as then you're more likely to get an answer and may help someone else in the process.

Hello Rob, thanks for the fast answer. In our situation it is necessary, that one gruop searches over all three servers and an other group searches just serverA. So how can we fullfill the wishes of both groups? Is it possible to run one htsearch.exe with "htdig.conf1" (without exlude--> all three servers) and "htdig.conf2" (with exclude --> serverA)?
