Yes, it's a spider so it tries to, well, spider.  I suppose you could
list multiple server configs and set test_url() to always return false.
But I haven't tried that.

No, it actually works for me.

moseley@bumby:~/David$ perl search.cgi query=unix | grep hits
    (1 - 3 of 3 hits)

moseley@bumby:~/David$ swish-e -f index.swishe -w not dkdk -x '%t\n'

So, that's an odd problem.

Doesn't seem likely, but I wonder if you have a mismatch of the swish-e
binary and libswish-e.so library.  The binary contains most of the
indexing code where the library contains most of the searching code.
That error you are seeing indicates that it's not reading the index
correctly -- or at least not the same way it was written while indexing.
And since your test index works on my machine works it makes
me suspect something wrong with the swish-e library code on your
machine.

Did you use the normal method of installation?  "make install"?

Do you have another machine where you can build swish-e again and do the
test you sent me?
