And, as soon as I read it, I remembered metatag searching is in the
documentation......

depends on what MetaName it's indexed under. Try a simple test document
containing that word, and/or use the -T option to dump out the index
contents to
see what metaname 'accovia' is being indexed under. If you don't specify
one, it
assumes 'swishdefault'.

if it's only in the docpath, it depends on whether you are indexing / as a
WordCharacter or not.
