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



I finally got a chance to try this . . . it's a nice feature.

In your note it sounds like the ranking of the keywords
is the same as if the word actually appeared in some text.
It appears that the keyword hits are ranked higher than
hits in the body of a document, but a little lower than hits
in the title or main heading.  I assume that having the
keyword in the meta tag and in the heading or title would
get the highest ranking.  Is this true?

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.
