If you have the config in a different directory to the one that htdig
was complied for, you /must/ put the name of the config file in the form
data, even if it is the default name.  For example:
   <form method="get" action="/cgi-bin/htsearch.sh"
      <input type="hidden" name="config" value="htdig">

In this example I have used a wrapper shell script so that the
non-standard HTBINDIR and CONFIG_DIR are set properly before running
htsearch, which you might also need to consider.
