Hi. Download PhpDig 1.8.1 alpha <removed>. What do you think?

A couple of notes on feedback:

Please, no mod requests here, just feedback on what's done so far in the alpha version itself. Also, please, no what else are you going to add questions, as I'm not sure, but read on for possibilities.

What's in the alpha version:

Some things from this thread include "did you mean X" instead, different keyword storage, search by site or directory, click tracking, cron job management, limit spider to max of Y number of links per depth per site, and other config options.

Other things include removes '-' index pages, RSS feeds by search, robots.txt reading updated, read base href tags for indexing, tis-620 support added, allow some extra characters in URLs, bug fixes, possible https support.

Remember this is an alpha version - some things might not work as expected. Suggestion: install in a test directory rather than overwriting your current version.

Some things that may or may not be added:

Banner abilities, simultaneous spiders, add your site form, GET request modification, admin panel changes, different authentication method, thumbnail support, different searching options, allow for more than one encoding, treat directories within a site as different domains, and whatever else.

Something that probably won't be added:

Multi-byte support - Why? See this and other funcitons where it says, "This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, the name of this function, and anything else documented about this function may change without notice in a future release of PHP. Use this function at your own risk."

Note: version 1.8.1 alpha contains three new tables (clicks, site_page, and sites_days_upd) that you will need to create. See the init_dq.sql file for these tables, and remember to add your PhpDig prefix to the tables if you used one.

Special thanks to all who made suggestions and contributions!!!

EDIT: PhpDig version 1.8.1 released.
