Everything seems to look fine. It seems that my database is full of words.
I don't know now how to troubleshoot further... Any help or ideas are welcome!
The first thing I would try is rerunning htdig/htmerge using the -c option to explicitly specify the configuration file you want to use. Then run htsearch from the command line also using the -c option to specify the configuration file. If the search works in this case, it is likely that htdig/htmerge and htsearch do not agree on the default location of the databases (i.e. they are using different configuration settings).

It seems that it is not a problem for the configuration files. I tried your suggestion without result.
The behaviour is quite simple to reproduce:
When I use the command: ."/htdig -i -h 3 -v ". the search engine is working well and htsearch also.
When I use the command: "./htdig -i -v". htsearch give me no result at all ("No matches were found").
The database is not empty: su-2.05b# cd /usr/local/share/htdig/database/ su-2.05b# ls -al total 148798 drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 512 Mar 17 10:32 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 512 Feb 17 16:31 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 679936 Mar 17 12:28 db.docdb -rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 1376256 Mar 15 18:52 db.docdb.work -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 180224 Mar 17 12:28 db.docs.index -rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 729088 Mar 15 18:52 db.docs.index.work -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 5251072 Mar 17 12:28 db.excerpts -rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 7249920 Mar 15 18:52 db.excerpts.work -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 47339520 Mar 17 12:28 db.words.db -rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 90491904 Mar 15 18:52 db.words.db.work -rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 16384 Mar 15 18:52 db.words.db.work_weakcmpr -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 16384 Mar 17 12:28 db.words.db_weakcmpr -rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 9807 Feb 23 15:45 htdex.Bgh1uG
and an htdig with "-vvv" give me no interesting results in the logs...
Is there a maximum size for the database?
Thanks, Olivier.
