Well, they're both treated the same way, in that htdig just ignores the
punctuation, whether in meta tags or body text, and indexes the words as
it finds them.  But, any sequence of consecutive words can be taken as a
phrase, regardless of the context in which it's found, so a search for
either of the two phrases in the first tag above, or even for "affairs
financial", will match documents containing either of the two tags above.
