If the words appear correctly in db.docdb, it must mean that the h
record contains all the words you want, which is good. That they don't
appear in db.wordlist would explain why the search doesn't find them -
db.wordlist is used to build the word database for htsearch.
The most likely cause is a problem with the format of the w records your
parser puts out. Note that w records must have 4 fields, separated by
tab characters. The record must start with a w and a tab, then the word,
another tab, the location (0-1000), a final tab, and the heading level
(0-11). If fields are missing or the values are out of range, they will
be rejected.
Have a look at the output of your parser as you run it manually on one
of your documents, to see what's wrong with the w fields.
