Hum, this must of come up before.

Ya, that's probably what I'd try first.

    Filerules dirname regex /./
    swish-e -i * -v2  -f ../index -c ../c

Kind of ugly.

Yes, maybe that's a good idea.

You can use -T regex to see the string and pattern being matched, so
that should help in figuring that out.

Assuming 3.0 even know how to read files, maybe swish-e would have -r
for recurse.

Or, maybe run this before indexing

    find $path -type d | xargs rm -rf

Eh, I trust nobody really does that.
