It's an example of searching multiple sites.

It uses this in the swish config file:

    ExtractPath site regex "!^http://httpd.apache.org/docs/.*$!httpd docs1!"
    ExtractPath site regex "!^http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.*$!httpd docs2!"
    ExtractPath site regex "!^http:/([^.]+).+$!$1!"


The .swishcgi.conf file contains this to make use of that extracted
host name:

    my @sites = qw/httpd docs1 docs2 java www apr james/;

    [...]

    select_by_meta  => {
            method      => 'checkbox_group',
            columns     => 3,
            metaname    => 'site',
            values      => \@sites,
            labels      => \%labels,
            description => 'Limit search to: ',
        },

that select_by_meta is an option of swish.cgi -- and is somewhat
explained in the config section of the script.

But, that's just one way to do it -- I would frankly write my own user
interface and not use that script (I'd rather use a script that was
customized for my needs.)

    http://swish-e.org/docs/swish-config.html#extractpath

That just applies a regex to the document's "path" and the captured
part is placed in a metaname for that document.
