.TH htdig 1 "21 July 1997"
.\" NAME should be all caps, SECTION should be 1-8, maybe w/ subsection
.\" other parms are allowed: see man(7), man(1)
.SH NAME
htfuzzy \- fuzzy command-line search utility for the ht://Dig search engine
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B htfuzzy [-c configfile] [-v] algorithm
.I "[options]"
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
Description to follow here
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-c \fIconfigfile\fR
Use the specified
.I configfile
instead of the default.
.TP
.B \-v
.I Verbose mode
Use this to get more verbose output while running htfuzzy. More than one \fIv\fR can be specified (ie.
\fI\-vv\fR
,
\fI\-vvv\fR
etc
). Specifying more than two v's is probably only useful for debugging purposes.
.SH "Supported Algorithms"
.TP
Different algorithms are supported for searching:
\fIsoundex\fR
Creates a slightly modified soundex key database. Differences with the standard soundex algorithm are:
Keys are 6 digits and the first letter is also encoded.
\fImetaphone\fR
Creates a metaphone key database. This algorithm is more specific to English, but will get fewer "weird"
matches than the soundex algorithm.
\fIaccents\fR
(No description of the algorithm at the moment)
\fIendings\fR
Creates two databases which can be used to match common word endings. The creation of these databases
requires a list of affix rules and a dictionary which uses those affix rules. The format of the affix rules
and dictionary files are the ones used by the ispell program. Included with the distribution are the affix
rules for English and a fairly small English dictionary. Other languages can be supported by getting the
appropriate affix rules and dictionaries. These are available for many languages; check the ispell distribution
for more details.
\fIsynonyms\fR
Creates a database of synonyms for words. It reads a text database of synonyms and creates a database that
htsearch can then use. Each line of the text database consists of words where the first word will have the
other words on that line as synonyms.
.SH "Notes on searching"
.TP
Please consult specialised literature to find out how the different algorithms work or simply try another
search strategy you do not get the intended search results.
.SH "FILES"
.TP
.B /etc/htdig/htdig.conf
The default configuration file.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
Please refer to the HTML pages (in the htdig-doc package)
.B /usr/share/doc/htdig-doc/html/index.html
and the manual pages
.I htdigconfig(8)
,
.I htmerge(1)
,
.I htnotify(1)
,
.I htsearch(1)
and
.I rundig(1)
for a detailed description of ht://Dig and its commands.
.SH AUTHOR
This manual page was written by Robert Ribnitz. It is based on documentation of ht://Dig, and on earlier manpages provided by Christian Schwarz and Stijn de Bekker.
