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. -- Gilles R.
