gw is not indexing the meta information.

Post by Thunderstone »



Hello,

I am using this program:

Webinator WWW Site Indexer Version 2.53 (Free)
Copyright(c) 1995,1996,1997,1998 Thunderstone EPI Inc.
Release: 19990317

I am running it on RedHat 6.0 Kernel 2.2.15 SMP.


gw -d<path to webinator database> -rewalk -meta=keywords,description <url>

I have tried many variations like taking description out of the picture. My
web pages ALL have <meta name="keywords" content="comma, separated, list,
of, keywords"> and <meta name="description" content="Description of the
page">.

The database does not index the meta data. The meta info is not searchable,
using the standard search it displays --None-- under the Match info link.

I attmpted to find the data via an SQL query:

gw -st -d<path to webinator database> "select Meta from html" and I get 1200
blank lines. (1200 because that is how many pages I am indexing).

Do you have any suggestions or fixes? I have searched the docs, the online
mailing list, and everything I could think of to no avail.

Thank you,

Russ Mann

-rewalk ignores all other options except -d and -v. It uses the options
from your last walk. If you wish to use different options, you will
need to perform a complete walk manually once with those options.
