Hi,

I'm trying to get data in a meta tag to be searchable as part of a
default query and as part of a field query. However, the moment
I define the meta tag, using MetaNames, it no longer appears in
the default search. e.g.

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Payment while stood down</title>
    <meta name="booktitle" content="Australian Employment Law Guide">
    <meta name="keywords" content="During a period of stand-down ">
  </head>
  <body>
        Give the employee all you can afford.
  </body>
</html>

If I just run this through the Swish-e indexer with out any MetaNames
option
I can search for "Australian", "period" or "employee" and return the
document,
however, I can not do "booktitle=Australian", "keywords=period".

      MetaNames booktitle keywords

If I add the above MetaNames to my configuration file then I can no longer
find "Australian" and "period", but I can not do "booktitle=Australian"
or "keywords=period".

I would like to have a meta tages included in the default search and
(if the case required) be able to search them explicitly. Am I doing
something
wrong?

The only alternative I have come up with is to either do and "or" e.g.
"Australian or booktitle=Australian" (which I don't like as it takes longer
to process) or have two mega tags with the same data, one indexed in the
default index and the other indexed by field name.

    <meta name="booktitle" content="Australian Employment Law Guide">
    <meta name="default" content="Australian Employment Law Guide">
    <meta name="keywords" content="During a period of stand-down ">
    <meta name="default" content="During a period of stand-down ">

Any other suggestions?

BTW... does MetaNamesRank work in any version of Swish?

Thanks,
Peter Finch
