John,
Like htdig, htsearch needs to be told the name of the config file. This
is done by a field in the form. The default form has the following:
<input type=hidden name=config value=htdig>
which specifies the default config file (/usr/lib/htdig/conf/htdig.conf
on my RedHat 4 server). Note that the directory name, /usr/lib/htdig/conf
and the suffix (.conf) are NOT specified.
And the template files that htsearch uses to build result forms have the
line:
<input type=hidden name=config value=$(CONFIG)>
which continues to use the same config file.
If you want to allow users to search either database, you need to change
the config field from hidden, and offer a selection.
Eg:
Index to search: <select name=config>
<option value=htdig>Standard
<option value=merlin>Merlin
</select>
The above assumes that the default config file, htdig.conf, specifies the
database in /home/httpd/html/htdig/db and that the configuration file
merlin.conf specifies the database in /home/httpd/html/htdig/merlin
Obviously, the descriptions (Standard/Merlin) should be descriptive of
what the database is an index of.
