[gentoo-user] What's the status of ht://Dig?

[Peter Humphrey]

Hello list,

I'd like to add a search facility to my choir's website, and a likely-
looking candidate is ht://Dig, but its News dates from seven years ago. Does 
this mean it's dead or absolutely stable?

If this isn't a runner, does the team wish to offer an alternative? I have 
over 100 pages in this site, and I'm sure a visitor would like to be able to 
search for a particular member, song, venue etc.

Browsing through the page, the project looks pretty dead which seems strange
considering how many contributors it had.

As such, I've never used it but Hyper Estraier[0] may do what you want, as
well. There are probably others out there. There's also always the Google
option.

I had a play with this, but there's a snag at the server end - it threw an 
internal config error when I tried to run the cgi-bin script.

While looking into that, I discovered the the web host already has a search 
engine available to its customers. Well, what do you know! That has to be my 
next investigation.

Thanks for the idea anyway.
