NAME

7       search engine

SYNOPSIS

10       htsearch [options] [query_string]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Htsearch is used to search in de databases created by  htdig  for  con‐
14       tent.   is the actual search engine of the htdig search system. It is a
15       CGI program that is expected to be invoked by an  HTML  form.  It  will
16       accept  both  the  GET and POST methods of passing data to the CGI pro‐
17       gram.
18

OPTIONS

20       query_string
21              A CGI-style query string can be given as a single argument,  and
22              is  only  used if the REQUEST_METHOD environment variable is not
23              set.  If no query_string is given,  and  REQUEST_METHOD  is  not
24              set, htsearch will prompt for the query.
25
26       -c configfile
27              Use  the  specified configfile instead of the default (for secu‐
28              rity reasons this option is only available when htsearch is used
29              on the commandline).
30
31       -v -d  Run  in  verbose mode.  This increases the verbosity of the pro‐
32              gram.  Using more than 2 is probably only useful  for  debugging
33              purposes.   The default verbose mode gives a progress on what it
34              is doing and where it is.
