It seems that it is not a problem for the configuration files. I tried 
your suggestion without result.

The behaviour is quite simple to reproduce:

When I use the command: ."/htdig -i -h 3 -v ". the search engine is 
working well and htsearch also.
When I use the command: "./htdig -i -v". htsearch give me no result at 
all ("No matches were found").

The database is not empty:
su-2.05b# cd /usr/local/share/htdig/database/
su-2.05b# ls -al
total 148798
drwxrwxrwx  2 root  wheel       512 Mar 17 10:32 .
drwxr-xr-x  4 root  wheel       512 Feb 17 16:31 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel    679936 Mar 17 12:28 db.docdb
-rwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel   1376256 Mar 15 18:52 db.docdb.work

-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  47339520 Mar 17 12:28 db.words.db
-rwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel  90491904 Mar 15 18:52 db.words.db.work
-rwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel     16384 Mar 15 18:52 db.words.db.work_weakcmpr
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel     16384 Mar 17 12:28 db.words.db_weakcmpr
-rwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel      9807 Feb 23 15:45 htdex.Bgh1uG

and an htdig with "-vvv" give me no interesting results in the logs...

Is there a maximum size for the database?

Thanks,
Olivier.
