search index

hi

following scenario:
there is one index.html file with links to all the other html-files. Now I add a new page and a link in the index.html and update the index with the option -e"-2 seconds" -X -V . The new link is recognized in the index.html but webinator doesn't follow this link. Consequently the new file will not being indexed.

how can I add changes in the filestructure (changes in existing files and adding new files) to the index without using rewalk? I need the Visited entry and I don't wanna loose it what would happen with rewalk.

thanks for any help.

Perhaps the link is excluded by some rule. What's your full gw command line? What's the new url?
Try using -v4 to see what it thinks about what it's finding.

BTW, the time given to -e should not be shorter than it takes to do the specified walk. You could get into an infinite loop if it is.

the problem was that I appended http://domain/test/ again. without that it works now. I got an error message like "disallowed path(x)".

But I have right now an other question:

I need metamorph indexes (only on Title, Meta and so on). Doesn't gw update this indexes by itself like the index Title\Meta\Body?

Thanks for your help again.

gw only updates metamorph indexes that it creates. You need to manually update any extra metamorph indexes you create. Update a metamorph index by re-issuing the same "create metamorph ..." statement (without dropping the index).
