I have excluded the print and printwn directories from the ***search process***. That does mean that the indexing time of these files are wasted, and that the search takes (probably significatly) longer, since nearly every page has three copies indexed in the database (normal, printed, printed with notes), so it is still desirable to exlude them from the indexing process (in the htdig config file)... BTW updating the info on htdig is also important, because as I have seen, some security vulnerabilities have been discovered in the version the README suggests to set up...
