This is almost always due to there being no indexable documents, or no indexable texts in the documents that htdig is given. The tricky part is figuring out why htdig is unable to parse and index anything. > I have tried running > rundig -vvv -s and there is nothing in it that tells me where the > problem is.

This problem is driving me insane! Well, the above tells me that htdig was able to successfully read in a 18951 byte file for the http://www.[domain].com/ URL. However, it doesn't report any "href" entries, so apparently htdig couldn't find any HTML links in this file. Also, the "Total word count: 0" message suggests htdig couldn't find any words in the file either. You may get more clues by using more verbosity, e.g. -vvvvvv, but if that doesn't help, you may need to post the contents of the document so that someone can look at it and figure out what's causing htdig to skip over everything. Given your edits of the htdig output to conceal the domain, though, I would guess that this is something you don't want everyone to see. Also have a look at the FAQ on the htdig.org web site. htdig doesn't index JavaScript content or links, only HTML (FAQ 5.18). You should also check to make sure the document doesn't have a meta robots tag that prevents indexing (FAQ 4.15 & 4.22). You'd need at least -vvvv to have htdig report such tags. -- Gilles R.
