besides the frame issue that I'll solve later I think that some problems
resides in the http spider..
for example
i put as start page http://www.glamm.com/latosx.htm
(you can check it just to see how is formatted)

this is what I got when indexing

IndexFile /online/www/home/glamm/myindex1
"glammhttp.config" 192 lines, 7399 characters
# /usr/local/bin/swish-e -c glammhttp.config -S http
Indexing Data Source: "HTTP-Crawler"
retrieving http://www.glamm.com/latosx.htm (0)...
 (138 words)

Removing very common words... no words removed.
Writing main index... 96 unique words indexed.
Writing file index... 1 file indexed.
Running time: 1 minute, 1 second.
Indexing done!


As a matter of fact it indexed just that page
even if the variable
MaxDepth 5
is set to 5
and that file (latosx.htm) contains some links.

Why it doesn't follow those links?
Thanks
Matteo
