<BR> <I>lha - 2003-11-10 03:57</I> - <A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/projects/htdig/">ht://Dig</A><BR>After being asked "Is ht://Dig dead?" once too often, the ht://Dig group is very happy to announce the release of ht://Dig version 3.2.0b5. This fourth beta release of 3.2 (yes, 3.2.0b4 was cancelled) should fix all bugs in previous 3.2 releases and indtroduces a few new features. As a beta release, it has not received exhaustive testing. However, we believe it to be almost stable enough for production use, and hope that you consider giving it a try to provide feedback.<div align="center"> <A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=327276">[Read More/Comment]</a></div><HR width="100%" size="1" noshade>

<h2>
Introduction
</h2>
<p>
The ht://Dig system is a complete world wide web indexing and
searching system for a domain or intranet. This system
is <strong>not</strong> meant to replace the need for
powerful internet-wide search systems like Lycos, Infoseek,
Google and AltaVista. Instead it is meant to cover the
search needs for a single company, campus, or even a
particular sub section of a web site.<br>
As opposed to some WAIS-based or web-server based search
engines, ht://Dig can easily span several web servers. The
type of these different web servers doesn't matter as long as
they understand common protocols like HTTP.
</p>
<p>
ht://Dig was developed at <a href="http://www.sdsu.edu/">San
Diego State University</a> as a way to search the various web
servers on the campus network. Here are some examples of the
application of ht://Dig on the SDSU network:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="http://www.sdsu.edu/">A "Quick" search on the main
campus home page</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="http://www.sdsu.edu/search/">A more comprehensive
interface to the same</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="http://libweb.sdsu.edu/catalog/Search.html">A
search of the online SDSU General Catalog</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="http://www.sdsu.edu/doc/">Searches through various
online documentation</a>
</li>
</ul>
<form action="http://cgi.htdig.org/cgi-bin/htsearch" method="post">
<p>
You can search this documentation as well:<br>
<input type="hidden" name="config" value="htdig">
<input type="hidden" name="method" value="and">
<input type="text" name="words" size="40"><br>
Restrict to: <select name="restrict">
<option value="">Everything
<option value="www.htdig.org">www.htdig.org only
<option value="www.htdig.org/dev/">Developer pages only
<option value="/mail/|/htdig-dev/">Mailing list archives
<option value="/mail/">htdig@htdig.org archive
<option value="/htdig-dev/">htdig3-dev@htdig.org archive
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Search">
</p>
</form>
<p>
Many different types of searches can be set up using only a
single search database. For example, the online documentation
search above uses the same database as the campus main
search. The difference between the searches is that the
documentation search will only show results related to the
online documentation.
