Okay, the search facility was back up and working well yesterday.
Right now it's reporting 500 Internal Server Error, so it appears to
be down again. I'm presuming from this error that the state of the
database is not the primary problem here...
htdig-3.1.3 released 22 Sep 1999; the 3.1.0 release note says:
You must rebuild your databases from scratch after updating to
this version. Several database-related bugs were fixed and will
remain unless you rebuild from scratch.
