I am not sure what else to suggest other than taking yet another look at the way you have things configured. You might want to try a cat -v on your config file to make sure that you don't have any non-printing characters fouling things up. Perhaps grab a clean copy of htdig.conf and redo your edits. I just installed a fresh copy of 3.2.0b5, changed start_url to something appropriate, and replaced the default search_algorithm attribute with search_algorithm: substring:0.5 Without doing anything else (other than indexing of course), substring searching seems to be working fine. The list of displayed search terms clearly show that the terms are being expanded from the substring that I am providing.
