Overview
htDig is a light web search engine written in C++. I’ve been using it for almost 20 years; makes it easy to search lots of text; great for IT administrators that need to search their own technical notes. htDig can also parse pdf, doc, and other types alike. htDig uses CGI. It is an old and simple web search engine but it still works great and is simple to setup once you know how. Here I put together some steps for a quick setup.
