Hi Everyone,

I have a somewhat 'different' setup. The site I am using htdig on is 
approximately 80% dynamic content. What I mean by dynamic content is that the 
pages are generated on-the-fly by PERL scripts. All the information that shows 
up on the pages comes from a mySQL database. 

This site has to do with art. Therefore in our database we have artists (e.g. 
Picasso, Goya, etc.). When you pick one of these artists from the "artist" 
index, you go to a page such as: 
http://www.sitename.com/cgi-bin/artist_index.cgi?ID=123 where '123' is, let's 
say, Picasso's ID in the database. On this index page for Picasso, there are a 
number of other links to "Selected Works", "Other Online Resources", etc that 
all refer to Picasso. When you click on these links, you get taken to pages 
such as: http://www.sitename.com/cgi-bin/artist_selected.cgi?ID=123 or 
http://www.sitename.com/cgi-bin/artist_online.cgi?ID=123 (considering the two 
examples I gave above).

Now, that explained, here is my question:

When someone does a search for 'Picasso', all the documents that have 'Picasso' 
will show up in the result. What I want is for the "Index Page" to get 
prioritized in the Score so that it would show up first. One way I could 
accomplish this is to give any page called 'artist_index.cgi' a 'weight factor' 
a lot higher than the other factors, but apparently there isn't a way to do 
that. Is there ? Or maybe there is a way that I can give specific words 
increased weight factors in the results ?

I would welcome any suggestions that you may have to solve this issue. If you 
need any other information please feel free to contact me.

Thanks,
