I am new to HtDig.  HtDig was installed with Red Hat 7.3 and seems to
execute just fine.

I just created a new config file and I am currently testing it.

the search form is at http://www.knx1070.com/search.html

the config file is at http://www.knx1070.com/htdigknx.config.txt

I have several problems with finding the "appropriate" pages.

For example, searching for "drama hour" does not bring up the
"drama.html" page, even though the phrase "knx drama hour" is all
over the page (title/H1/alt/keywords/description/links to the page
from other pages)
 I am not familiar with how Red Hat sets things up, but something
 seems to be wrong with your current setup. The result page doesn't
 include either the header or footer. If the footer was present, you
 would most likely have links to additional result pages that would
 include the page you are looking for. Try doing a search on the
 ht://Dig site and notice the information/search boxes at the top of
 the page and the result page links at the bottom. There are the
 header and footer sections that I am referring to.

 Did you at some point try to customize your result templates?
no, I only created a copy of the default config file, and edited it to change the start URL, added more weight to the title and headers (trying to force the drama hour to show up, since it is the only one that has "drama hour" in the <title> and <h1>

I did not touch the rest of the config file.


similarly, searching for "zabba" brings up pages with WSB, Sub,
seebee, sabe, before bringing up the page with "zabba"...???
 I would work on fixing the header/footer issue first. A default
 header will give you additional information about what terms are
 actually being searched on. That might provide a clue as to the
 other problems you are encountering. It might be that htdig is
 not even using the config file that you customized. Are you
 passing the name of your custom config file to rundig (or htdig)
 using the -c options?
I created a clone of rundig, and customized it to use the appropriate directory /var/lib/htdig/knx so that I will not have conflicting db files. (I guess this can be done via a config parameter) and maybe it is not finding its templates because I changed the directory... I'll look into it. thanks.

I run it using 'rundigknx -v -c /etc/htdigknx.conf'
