- Surely I'm making a simple configuration error here: on a simple WAIS
- index search (wais-8-b5, gopher 1.03) I get "Nothing available" though
- I know this is incorrect (a waissearch proves this).
-
- Furthermore, I tried running gopherd in Debug mode and the debugging
- output clearly showed that it was finding the correct documents on and
- index search... though there was an odd "dangling file" message. Here
- is an example of gopherd debug output:
-
- IndexPath: /home/gopher
- After finished_search

- Those are the correct files for the index search I requested, but the
- gopher client still returned "Nothing Available!"
