Re: How to exclude HTML tags in searching ?

[Golda Velez <(use contact form)>]

Hi Christian, hi all

I think I have an idea what the problem is here - sorry I had emailed David
separately without copying the group!

The way I have it set right now, glimpse is run without the -z option (and
therefore without using the filters) unless the <input name=nonascii ...>
tag is set to "on" or "yes".  The reason is the -z was slowing down a lot
of sites since we're still not defaulting to the shared libs.

Instead, there is an old hack that takes effect to suppress HTML tags in
the actual result output, but it relies on just recognizing a tag by the
enclosing < and > chars in each record.  Since in this site, there was a
return in the middle of the tag, it wasn't suppressed.

So to make a long story short, I suggested that David include the tag
<input name=nonascii type=hidden value=on> in his search form ...did you
try that, David?

I think it will fix the problem by just turning on the filter.

Talk to you soon!
