Sorry, my email client is not indenting when I reply.

I understand what you mean about separate indexes now.  Back to my original
question: is there is a way to feed swish-e a specific list of local files
to index?   We are having a problem where pdfs we don't want indexed get
indexed, so I would like to only index pdfs that have links to them (the
list I gather while spidering).  I am dealing with hundreds of pdfs, so its
not always easy to spot and remove these.

Thanks for your replies,

B Bauer

It depends on your customizations.

I moved from 2.2 to 2.4 back in 2003 when 2.4 came out, but I had only been
using 2.2 a short time. IIRC, the swish-e config was mostly portable, but
there were some significant changes to the library API.

that makes sense. I would take the approach I suggested before; skip the
PDFs via spider.pl, create one index of PDFs, one of spidered content, and
then merge them.
