Patient Guinea Pigs,
As you all know only too well, there are a few bugs in AutoSwish. I think
I've taken care of all the ones you've found so far:
1. The script now adds the missing bracket in all generated forms:
>The html generated by AutoSwish is missing a left tag before the word INPUT:
><TR ALIGN=CENTER><TD>INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Start Search">
><INPUT TYPE="reset" VALUE="Clear Form">
2. The query construction in the generated cgi scripts for forms with only
one field is now correct:
>Also, after generating an index today using AutoSwish, the resulting
>sample search worked fine, but when I put in on our live system all I
>got was "You must enter a keyword or phrase..." errors. I finally
>compared the .pl file with another working .pl file on our system, and
>found that my new .pl file had something else in the main program
>besides:
>$query = join (" and ", @query);
3. It is now possible to use AutoSwish to index META tags whose name
includes a ".", essential to implementers of Dublin Core.
>I also came across a problem yesterday that will be of concern to anyone
>considering the use of Dublin Core elements in META tags. The current
>specification for embedding DC elements in HTML call for a syntax like this:
>
><META NAME="DC.title" CONTENT="Title Here">
>
>Unfortunately, the use of a period in the NAME attribute breaks
>AutoSwish.

Keep those bugs coming!
