NAME

       htsearch  -  create  document  index and word database for the ht://Dig
       search engine

SYNOPSIS

       htsearch [options] [query_string]

DESCRIPTION

       Htsearch is used to sift through the  databases created  by  htdig  for
       content.  It is the actual search engine of the htdig search system. It
       is a CGI program that is expected to be invoked by  an  HTML  form.  It
       will  accept  both  the GET and POST methods of passing data to the CGI
       program.

OPTIONS

       query_string
              A CGI-style query string can be given as a single argument,  and
              is  only  used if the REQUEST_METHOD environment variable is not
              set.  If no query_string is given,  and  REQUEST_METHOD  is  not
              set, htsearch will prompt for the query.

       -c configfile
              Use  the  specified  configfile  instead  of  the  default  (for
              security reasons this option is only available when htsearch  is
              used on the command line).

       -v -d  Run  in  verbose  mode.   This  increases  the  verbosity of the
              program.   Using  more  than  2  is  probably  only  useful  for
              debugging  purposes.   The default verbose mode gives a progress
              on what it is doing and where it is.
