Hey there,

I’m building a rails site using RDig as a site-wide search. I would  
like to be able to add just one URL (or possibly a list) to an existing  
index, so that when certain pages change I can update the index without  
reindexing the entire site. I looked through the documentation and  
didn’t see an example on how to do this so I am looking for some  
guidance here :). Is this possible with RDig and if so what is the  
syntax?

Thanks in advance,

Dylan

I’m afraid this is not possible with RDig out of the box. However it  
should be fairly easy to hack RDig so it does what you want.

If you told the crawler to not follow any links, and then gave your urls  
as start url list, you’d be nearly done. Nearly because you have to make  
sure any older versions of the same documents get removed from the index  
properly before re-adding them.
