[htdig] Mangled Search Results When Using Multiple Configs?

Bruce DeYoung Thu, 28 Jun 2007 11:43:19 -0700

Hi,

I'm migrating an older htDig implementation (Solaris-based) to 3.2.0b6 on 
Linux.


I have multiple digs the run, creating multiple search dbs.   On each page 
of our site, there will be a search box which will search all collections 
(by default).   There will also be an "advanced" search which will allow 
the user to search 1 or more of the collections.

The problem I'm experiencing has to do with searching with mulitple 
configs.   If use the default search page and only reference a single 
config, the results URLs returned are correct.   If, however, I have 
multiple configs on the search form to search multiple collections, the 
results returned by htsearch are mangled.   The URLs actually are not 
valid. 

I've looked at the db.docs file after running htdig, and the URLs appear 
fine there. 

Here's my example search form referencing only 1 config:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="900">
  <tr>
    <td width=100% align="left" valign="top" style="padding-top:15px;">
     <form method="get" action="/cgi-bin/bin/htsearch.cgi">
     <input type="text" size="30" name="words">

     <input type="hidden" name="restrict" value="">
     <input type="hidden" name="format" value="long">
     <input type="hidden" name="sort" value="revtitle">
     <input type="hidden" name="protected_icon" value="false">
     <input type="hidden" name="pdf_icon" value="false">
     <input type="hidden" name="narrowsearch" value="0">
     <!--<input type="hidden" name="config" 
value="htdig-documentation">-->
     <input type="hidden" name="config" value="htdig-eco-90">
     <!--<input type="hidden" name="config" value="htdig-eco-eB">
     <input type="hidden" name="config" value="htdig-eco-eB2">
     <input type="hidden" name="config" value="htdig-eco-eB21">
     <input type="hidden" name="config" value="htdig-catchall">-->
     <input type="submit" value="Search All Content">
     </form>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

And, when I search using this form....the results returned are good:

QAD | ServiceLinQ | ECO | New ECO List

However, if I uncomment the 'htdig-eco-eB' config in the search form 
(allowing search to search mulitple collections), I get the following:

Notice the weird characters and lack of reference to any HTML docs in the 
URLs?   I suspect it's something simple I'm overlooking (at least that's 
my hope).

BTW, all the collections are built....the databases exist and are 
correctly referenced in the config files....and I can successfully search 
any individual collection without problem.

Appreciate any thoughts/suggestions the list might have.

Thanks,

Bruce
