Subject: [SearchEngine] Assuming local paths
Message-ID: <3F6606EF.4030901@aclaro.com>

I created a patch that makes the search engine write out all of the 
results as local, relative paths rather than using the fully-qualified 
form.  This is useful for indexing via an internal URL (such as 
http://localhost/...) and exposing the results via an external one.  It 
exposes itself as a "-l" option on the search executable. 

After doing this, I thought that a better method might be to expose 
template items in addition to <?address?>, such as <?host?> and 
<?path?>.  This way, I can just use the <?path?> item if I'm interested 
in the relative path and build a full URL from <?host?> and <?path?> if 
I want an absolute one.

How does this sound?  I can send the patch for the first item if that 
sounds acceptable, or possibly work on a simpler patch such as the second.

Matt.
