OpenGrok is not able to recognize source files written in Forth. Most probably it's because Forth is not supported by Exuberant Ctags.

Research direction
The issue requests adding Forth language support to OpenGrok. First, check if Forth is now supported by Exuberant Ctags or if a custom analyzer is needed. Look at existing analyzers in the repository under 'src/org/opensolaris/opengrok/analysis' for examples. The issue is very old (2013) and may require updating for the current codebase. Also review the single comment in the bug tracker for additional context.
