Re: Question about search output errors.

[Golda Velez <gvelez@iwhome.com>]

Hello Mike

Probably the word "archive" is in the stop-list because it is in such a
high percentage of the pages in your archive.   You can verify what is
happening by looking in the source code of the response page, copy the
actual glimpse command from the comments near the top, and try running it
on the command line.  

If when you run on the command line you get the prompt "Your query may
search about xx% of the total space", then check that the '-y' option is in
the command (it should have been generated by webglimpse).  If not you can
edit the webglimpse code to add it. Look for a line like this

493:     $cmd = "$GLIMPSE_LOC -U -W -j -y $OPT_nonascii $OPT_file
$OPT_linenums $
OPT_age $OPT_case $OPT_whole $OPT_errors -H $indexdir " .

and make sure the -y is included.
