I have been reading the recent messages about prefix searching and it looks
like it could be very useful I so I tried it on our site but I have been
unable to make it work. I am using htdig 3.1.0b2 on a Solaris 2.6 Sparc
box.
After reading through the mail archives I have added and/or changed the
following lines in our configuration file:
search_algorithm: exact:1 prefix:1 endings:0.8
prefix_match_character: "*"
max_prefix_matches: 100
minimum_prefix_length: 3
I tried running 'htfuzzy prefix' in case that was needed to prepare a
special prefix-endings database but it returned "htfuzzy: 'prefix' is not a
supported algorithm" so I guess I don't need to do that.
When I search for document I get 838 matches for "document or documented or
documenting or
documenter or documents or documenters".
If I search for doc I get 17 matches for "doc".
If I search for doc* or docu* or documen* I get no matches at all.
Am I missing something obvious?
Many thanks,
