Re: [platform-help-dev] indexing keywords in M5

Positively great news--I look forward to working with this!

A couple of questions.

1) Any restrictions on the form of the keyword or meta name content?  I
suspect the name element value "keywords" is fixed. True? Or can we add
more name semantics?Are there any gotchas in having items in the content
list?

2) Any translation restrictions? If "keywords" above is fixed, I assume you
don't translate that :)

3) Are terms here handled by the ranking algorithm exactly as if they were
in text? Or do they have special rank weight status?

For 2.1 M5, I have added support for indexing Meta Keywords to Search in
Help System.  The corresponding Meta tag that can be placed in the head of
HTML documents looks like:
<meta name="keywords" content="term 1, term 2, ...">
The separator used in the content attribute do not matter, since search
treats comas, semicolons, spaces as word separators and does not index
them.  It is wise to use comma, in case the text analyzers plugged into
search engine become more picky in the future.
The keywords are indexed together with the text extracted from the
document, hence ranking of search hit will not depend on whether searched
word appears in the meta tag or it is actually in the body of the document.
