Hello Jessica,
I agree that how it should work and I have tried to reindex the PB help for
testing but it does not do anything: no error and the index file look
structurally correct but does not appear to contain anything (6k instead of
53k)
I have also tried to reindex QuickDNS help file and I have 76k instead of
96k but the result look a lot more encouraging. They use some strange
metatag though. Can you shed any light on this?
<meta name="DP" content="1.9.1/3.1.1">
Which meta are required for indexing: robots, keywords and description are
they all required. What happens if some are missing? What are the default
value.
BTW is it description or AppleAbstract? The indexing tool says description
but you say AppleAbstract. confusing!
Is there any thing I should know about using frames? In the first page and
in the subsequent ones.
Thanks
Francois
