Namazu-users-en(old)

[Philip S Tellis <philip@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just thought you might be interested in seeing how I've used the 
PATH_INFO cgi variable to specify the index to be used.

Go to 
http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/search/linuxers/
and
http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/search/life/

I use the same namazu, called search.  the terms after search in the url 
(/linuxers/ and /life/) don't exist, and are passed to namazu as the 
PATH_INFO cgi variable.  I've changed namazu to use the contents of this 
variable to determine which index to use.

If an idxname is set through a form variable on the page, that will 
override the PATH_INFO.

If you think it is useful, I will submit a patch to do this.

It is based on 2.0.7

The advantage is that I can have exactly the same templates, and the 
same namazurc files, I just change the url.  I could also specify 
?idxname=linuxers, etc, but then that doesn't make it transparent to the 
user.  Just thought that this was a better way to do it.
