I frequently have the need to update the search result for about 15 rapidly-changing pages, but don't wish to do an update dig on my entire 15,000 page database. Maintaining and merging separate databases is a nightmare. To create a file containing just the 15 urls I want to re-dig, and pass a commandline reference: htdig --urlfile myurls.txt or to just update one particular record: htdig --url http://www.myserver.edu/pressreleases/nov12.htm would be great. Both of these methods would set max_hop_count: 0 to only index exactly what you tell it to... If nobody else is working on it, I would be glad to hack it in... +============================================ + Benjamin Smedberg + CUA Asst.
