The spider.pl config (passed via SwishProgParameters in the SWISH-E's
config) is either the filename to a perl script or the keyword
"default".

Oh, right, sorry, you said search.cgi...  I'm way too sleepy to be
thinking. ;-)  How about swish.cgi in the example directory?  It
shouldn't have those problems.

Well, that's good.  I think your only option for getting everything
indexed is to make a list of URLs you know you need to index.  If you
have any control over the content of the remote sites then perhaps you
could have them put up a URL for you which contains links to all the
documents you need.

I don't believe search.cgi is meant for anything but searching the
documentation.  swish.cgi in example directory should do what you
expect.  (i.e. work like the Discussion forum search)
