I don't think you want what ht://Dig provides (full text site-wide
search). I think you'd be better served by a custom program (say
search.php) that would perform your SQL lookups directly from a list
of "synonyms,"
e.g.
Automobile -> AUT
Car -> AUT & AUT-CAR
...
This would take less time (since it could do the SQL lookups
directly) to perform the search and less space. It doesn't sound like
you really want to index the pages themselves, just the category
scheme. So running htdig over the site would be overkill.
