It should. I have not personally run it under HP/UX 10 recently, but it used
to work just fine.

Yes. 50,000 documents is a medium sized site; there are people that use
ht://Dig on *much* larger sites.

Yes. Look at the synonyms fuzzy search algorithm.

No, it does not.

That's probably hard to estimate. In the best case, you can simply run
'./configure;make;make install' to get everything setup. Please read the
documentation, though. You'll need to modify the CONFIG file before you build
the software.

It finds them pretty well... :-) It even indexes them with the use of
acroread or xpdf.

I hope this helps.
