Finally someone else who is having trouble with the Digital Librarian!
I posted complaints about this a long time ago and received no response.
DL in 2.0, as far as I can tell, wont' update an index.  This is a 
major pain for those of use to use DL to index and search our own
documents, to which we are constantly adding.  Rebuilding an entire
index every time one adds as little as a few pages is crazy.  But at
present this is what I must do unless I simply want to leave new
material unindexed.

I'm afraid I can offer no help in determining the nature of the
problem, or a fix.  But I _do_ wish NeXT would address this 
question.  It really undermines the value of DL for day to day work.
