Certainly for phrase searching. But this question regarded htdig-3.1.x, which doesn't do phrase searching. And if you're not doing phrase searching, the information quality of "web" is probably pretty small. As I said, the best solution, if you're willing to try it, is the 3.2 beta snapshots, which are designed to have faster searching. -- -Geoff Hutchison Williams Students Online http://wso.williams.edu/ ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ htdig-general mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, send a message to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with a subject of unsubscribe FAQ: http://htdig.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html
