This is a brief description of how I quickly updated an XSL template in Apache Forrest so it would use htdig to search the documents within Forrest (instead of Google and Lucene).

2 Changes

2.1 XSLT Style Sheet for the Pelt skin

• In order for Forrest to use another search program, the XSLT stylesheet for the default 'Pelt' skin had to be changed (this can be changed for any skin). As shown below, I simply replaced the google search with the htdig search by adding the necessary hidden fields.

<xsl:otherwise> 
<!- change to htdig search -> 
<form class="roundtopsmall" method="put" action="http://localhost/cgi-bin/htsearch"> 
<input type="hidden" name="config" value="" /> <input type="hidden" name="restrict" value="" /> 
<input type="hidden" name="exclude" value="Search the site with {$config/search/@provider}:" /> 
<input type="text" size="25" name="words" value="" />  
<input type="submit" value="Search" name="Search"/> 
</form>  
</xsl:otherwise>

2.2 Changes to skinconf.xml

• The skinconf.xml file was updated with the search tab below:

<search provider="htdig" domain="web.searchboy.com" name="BCDocs" />
