I tried it and it didn't solve the problem. BTW, I don't think that these
extra merges are necessary either.
Now, I run :
htmerge -c site#.conf
then
htmerge -c site1.conf -m site#.conf (with # > 1)
If I then run
htsearch -c site5.conf with words="rénovation tourisme", it finds the
document (in first place.)
But if I do
htsearch -c site1.conf with the same words, it returns the "nomatch" document.
Some of the web hosts are case sensitives and some are not. Could it be the
source of my problem ?
What are the rules for htmerge ? When does it really remove URLs from
database ?
