There currently is no way of doing that because of the record structure that
is used by ht://Dig (highly efficient variable length records).
Just because data is stored in a file, doesn't mean the data structure is
flat. ht://Dig makes use of the berkeley db library, using its btree
indexing scheme ( O(log n) ).
The "substring" fuzzy search algorithm is the only one that doesn't use an
index lookup; it actually performs a linear search and hence is *slow*.
There are plans to have ht://Dig use a SQL database, but there are space
complexity issues that need to be worked out. Performance may also be a
problem depending on how the actual search engine communicates with the
database engine.
