What platform?

perldoc swish.cgi will give some debugging examples.  Basically, you go 
through these steps:

- check that you can search from the command line.  You did this

- run the swish.cgi script from the command line using the debugging 
options.  The swish.cgi script contains a section on debugging.

- finally, test on your web server.  Check your web server's log file 
for any reported errors.

That will isolate where the problem is.

My guess, from what you are saying, is that when you run via the web 
server you are using a different index file.  But that's just a guess.
