search engine
SYNOPSIShtsearch [options] [query_string]
DESCRIPTION
Htsearch is used to search in de databases created by htdig for con‐
tent. 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 pro‐
gram.
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 secu‐
rity reasons this option is only available when htsearch is used
on the commandline).
-v -d Run in verbose mode. This increases the verbosity of the pro‐
gram. 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.
