The dictionary and affix file are not needed for exact matches.
Their sole purpose is to implement the "endings" fuzzy match algorithm.
For example, in English, this algorithm expands a search for "blast" to
"(blast or blasted or blasting or blaster or blasts or blasters)". You
need to run "htfuzzy endings" to build the word2root.db and root2word.db
databases from the dictionary and affix file, and you enable the endings
fuzzy match algorithm using the search_algorithm config attribute.

and http://www.htdig.org/htfuzzy.html
