Again, I'll recommend reading the excellent article at this URL:
http://beta.devshed.com/Server_Side/search/
It describes using htdig's templating feature to get it to output parsable
data that you can turn into just about any format you want. You run
htsearch from your shell script (the article uses PHP, but shell scripts
would work the same way), and then parse the output to create your own web
page. I think you'll find it much more flexible, and you won't have to hack
the source to do it.
I guess this makes my 4 cents worth now, unless saying the same thing twice
doesn't count!
Best of luck no matter how you decide to do it...
