The "abs" option in v2.0

[Thunderstone]

The form variable

<INPUT TYPE=hidden name="abs" value = 0>

does not appear to have an effect in the new version. Has this been
obseleted? Perhaps there an alternate option that will do the same sort
of function?

The Webinator 2 binary (webinator or webinator.exe) supports this.
The new search script does not, as distributed; however it is trivial to
change. In the <matchline> function, just change the flag in the
<abstract> call:

<abstract $Body $anum smart>$'ret'...

Change "smart" to "dumb" (or 0) for the other abstract style, to
permanently set it.

If you want users to be able to change the setting on the fly, then
just use the $abs value, directly from the form. See the search script
(and the Vortex docs, http://www.thunderstone.com/vortexman/) for how to
propagate the value to later invocations.
