You can control the number of results returned in the archie system by 3
|
||||
variables. 'maxhits', 'maxmatch' and 'maxhitspm'.
|
||||
|
||||
'maxhits' is a numeric variable whose value is the maximum number of
|
||||
matches you want the 'find' command to generate.
|
||||
|
||||
If archie seems to be slow, or you don't want a lot of output this can be
|
||||
set to a small value. "maxhits" must be within the range 0 to 1000. The
|
||||
default value is 1000.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
set maxhits 100
|
||||
|
||||
'find' will now stop after 100 matches have been found
|
||||
|
||||
There are 2 variables which work with the 'maxhits' variable to modify
|
||||
the behavior of the search mechanism. They are 'maxmatch' and
|
||||
'maxhitspm'. The database can be viewed as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
filename1 ----> file1 -> file2 -> file3
|
||||
|
|
||||
V
|
||||
filename2 ----> file1 -> file2 -> file3 -> file4
|
||||
|
|
||||
V
|
||||
filename3 ----> file1
|
||||
|
|
||||
V
|
||||
(etc)
|
||||
|
||||
Each filename can have several files associated with it which share that
|
||||
name. For example, the string "README" is only stored once but points to
|
||||
the information for each of the files in the database called README
|
||||
spread around all the anonymous FTP sites on the Internet (which, as you
|
||||
can imagine are numerous).
|
||||
|
||||
The maximum total number of "files" (hits) returned is determined by the
|
||||
'maxhits' variable. The maximum number of filenames that match is
|
||||
determined by the 'maxmatch' variable. Finally if you only want to
|
||||
return a limited number of files for each filename matched, use the
|
||||
'maxhitspm' variable.
|
||||
|
||||
If you do the following:
|
||||
|
||||
set maxhits 20
|
||||
set maxmatch 5
|
||||
set maxthitspm 7
|
||||
|
||||
Then you will match at most 5 filenames. For each filename you will be
|
||||
given back at most 7 files with that name. However, in total you will
|
||||
only be returned 20 hits, since maxhits operates on the total number
|
||||
regardless of the the combinations of the hits.
