Re: Please Help, Prefix search does not work for me!

It's the end of summer in Europe. Many people may be returning from 
vacation...

I'm not a developer but I have been using htdig for years. I seem to 
recall having seen similar problems, but it's been about 2 years since 
I've used 3.1.6 (that is what you are using, isn't it?) so I don't 
remember exactly what the problem was...

So here's my thoughts:

- When in doubt, try running all commands in any script you are using 
from the command line, one by one, adding the -v switch to see a little 
more output about what is going on

- try indexing a different site with a default conf file modifying the 
one option you are trying to use and see if you get the same results 
(if you don't, then it's more likely there's a problem with your 
configuration or database creation method).

- try adding extra v on the -v switch: htdig -c /path/to/conf -vvv

- log output to a file and examine it with a fine toothed comb (or grep 
if you don't have time)

Hope that helps.
