Search Related Features:

Intranet searching allows for many servers on a network to be searched by the ht://Dig tool which acts like a browser

Boolean searches allow users to conduct complex searches by using Boolean expressions (AND, OR, NOT)

The “search depth” for documents can be from many sets of machines to a lesser, more restricted number

Search results can be configured as you desire

Algorithms can be specified to aid in searches. These include search for exact match, synonym, metaphone, and substring and prefix, amongst many others

HTML, PDF, and plain text files are searchable.

Keywords can be added to documents with the means to make them more visible and ranked a high match for users searching such terms (keywords will not show on the document when it is viewed)

Sub-search database sections by setting up a search in which documents with a particular URL pattern are returned. This is especially useful if you want to make your data searchable but don’t want to use another database or search engine to do so.

Security Related and Other Features:

The ability to be reminded via e-mail of expired documents is a result of meta information attached to HTML documents that notifies the owner to remove or modify something on a page, such as images that are labeled but no longer “New”

Protect documents from unauthorized users by signing a name and password for ht://Dig to use when retrieving documents. This can be used to index parts of a server that are protected.
