Re: Number of articles

[Aaron Turner <aturner@linuxkb.org>]

Just a quick thought of how I invisioned this working:

In Display::buildMatchList() you should be able to scan the list 'hits'
"*matches" that htdig generated.  From there, start building a quicksort
tree, sorting each hit by the value of id in the URL.  If during the sort
you find that the id already exists, just delete the entry from *matches.

Hope that helps.
