Hi Chuck, We had the same problem. In our case, we were using local dates/times for meta data fields, and htdig was parsing them as being in the UTC time zone. We are GMT-6, so everything got 6 hours subtracted from it by htdig, sometimes decrementing the date too. Your example below doesn't have a time value, so my guess is that htdig would assume midnight UTC, subtract several hours from that to convert to your local time zone, and decrement the date accordingly on almost every page. Search results would then be displayed in your local time zone. You could test that theory by finding a document having a date on the 1st of a month and see if it gets reported as having a date on the last day of the previous month. Our solution was to convert our meta dates to UTC. We could do that easily because all of our meta tags are dynamically generated by a server side include.
Hopefully that helps :) Thanx Steve >>> "Chuck Phillips (Console, Inc.)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 06/10/05 1:27 PM >>> We're experiencing strangeness with setting the use_doc_date config to true. Every single page indexed displays the meta date minus 1 day. For example: Our config file contains: use_doc_date: true Here is an example meta Date tag embedded in a page being indexed: <META NAME="Date" CONTENT="2005-01-21"> Yet the search results for this page shows a date of: 01/20/05 The issue is consistent. Every search result is displaying the day before the Meta Date of the actual page.
