Search engine blues...

Hello all.. We are about to upgrade all of our servers to redhat 9 but in our tests, we have been unable to run a stable htdig. I don't know what the problem is, but we have decided to stop hosting htdig services for our clients, and the same applies for mx.php.net. The indexing programs of htdig always fail under RH9 and even worse, I have gotten our test server frozen several times when running the indexer. It seems to me that the htdig proyect is a bit dead. The last release was on feb '02 and only using the latest cvs I managed to compile it. Don't get me wrong we have used htdig a lot and I really like it, but I think time has cought up with it. Now, I've been looking at the mnogosearch functions and they seem far more flexible and, better yet, they;re built into php. Why has nobody considered using mnogo for php.net? Is it unstable? I think the best of it is that it is not a CGI like htdig. Adolfo Garcia MX Mirror
