Would it be best to reinstall htdig in a separate directory for each database that I want to set up, or is there a way to configure one installation of htidig so that rundig will create multiple, separate databases each time it runs and htsearch will search just one of those many database at a time?  I'm using version 3.1.6.

The best is approach is generally to use a single ht://Dig install with
a different configuration file for each database that you want to create.
As far as rundig goes, that is just a simple shell script that serves as
an example of how to build a database. To support multiple databases
either create a new script to do so or make copies of the script for
each database and change the definitions that affect the databases.
