Sorry, there is no built-in parser for HTML documents at this time. You are welcome to do so. Download FTL 2.03 source code . Works fine on Solaris 2.4, 2.5, 2.5.1. Older versions worked under SunOS 4.1.3 and AIX 3.2, but I haven't tried those recently.
Updates are now MUCH faster on large indexes.
The faster updates mean that older versions of FTL cannot read 2.03 indexes, though FTL 2.03 can read older indexes. Information is returned regarding which pages of a document contained the search hits, if document pages have been defined by the parser. Common signals are deferred until after critical operations have completed. There is built-in timing instrumentation. If no documentListFile is specified, it reads document list lines from standard input.
