It's formatting is quite flexible, it's dead easy to install. It is a inclusion only check, however, which means no relevance is applied. You don't get control over the searching mechanism. I don't think it applies any Stemming algorithms. Its list of synonyms is pants. > Is it still being maintained/developed, are there any alternatives? As far as I know it is, however, the last release was over a year ago. An alternative is to write one yourself, which takes no time at all. If this is for the directory, then I'm sure that htdig is throwing up some weird results, due to the number of index pages in existance.
