In the absence of other information, Inktomi Search
will index all the words in a document except for comments, and will
use the first few words as a summary to describe your page in the
search results.
You can use the HTML meta tag to specify the description text that
will appear in a search results list and to control if and how your
page is indexed by Inktomi Search. The meta tags
must be placed within the HEAD portion of your web page. Do not use
any HTML tags within the meta tag itself.
The DESCRIPTION and KEYWORDS Meta Tags
Suppose your page contains:
<meta name="description" content="XSoft specializes in
software products that help organizations improve how they create and
use documents.">
<meta name="keywords" content="document management
Xerox">
Inktomi Search will do two things with these tags:
- It will index both fields as words, so a search on either
XSoft or "document
management" will match.
- It will show the "description" with the search results.
Instead of showing the first few of lines of the page as the description, it
would be listed as follows:
- XSoft Home Page
- XSoft specializes in software products
that help organizations improve how they create and use documents.
http://www.xsoft.com/
Note that the description and keywords meta tags should not contain any
HTML formatting information.
Defining Search Fields with HTML Meta Tags
You can define your own search fields with HTML meta tags. These fields
can be searched using Inktomi Search Server
field syntax.
Suppose your page contains:
<meta name="author" content="Mark
Twain">
Inktomi Search will index this page so the that it
can be found with any of the queries:
- author:Twain
- author:"Mark Twain"
- author:"mark twain"
