Searching AIPS++Documentation

AIPS++uses the htdig system (http://htdig.sdsu.edu) to perform searches. Htdig traverses the web from a specified starting point (AIPS++home page) and creates a database of words and documents. A daily cron job (/aips++/local/htdig/bin/rundig) is run to recreate the databases. The configuration file (/aips++/local/htdig/conf/htdig.conf) offers many ways to tune the database. The search page supplied with htdig has been customized for AIPS++and checked into the system (code/doc/html/search.html).

Root privileges are needed to install/modify htsearch in the httpd/cgi-bin directory and add the htdig icons (/tarzan/httpd/icons).

All document searching is currently done on tarzan.aoc.nrao.edu. Distributing the search database with the system is not contemplated until there is a demand for searching local documentation.
