Hello all,
One of the worst bugs in htdig-3.1.0b1 is seen most obviously with the META
descriptions. If a document doesn't have a META description, the database
picks up another (seemingly random) description from another file.
At first, I thought it might have been my implementation of the new
DocMetaDsc field in the DatabaseRef object. I eliminated that, moved on to
Strings, then DocumentRef. Through my debugging I have traced it to the
point between the Serialize and Deserialize calls made by DocumentDB. This
puts the bug firmly in the Berkeley DB code, most likely on our end (i.e.
the DB2_db.cc file).
I have now discovered this bug in other fields as well--DocTitle (some
titles that actually exist seem to disappear), DocHead (documents marked
noindex generate no DocHead, but other excerpts are inserted into the db),
and probably others as well.
If anyone can shed some light on this bug, I'd greatly appreciate it.
