OK, Opera tell me that the MIME content type is indeed correct but I
wonder whether the answer lies in the HTML coding. Maybe someone with
better (some!) knowledge of the actual htdig code could comment better ...
the page starts:

It might be that the (pointless) turning off of indexing through the
doctype and html/head elements has screwed the analysis. However I can see
another page that looks much the same and does display the title in the
search results. My next best guess is that the bare ampersand (illegal
surely, shouldn't it be &) may be throwing something. I think I could
shoot down that theory too but there are certainly bare ampersands lurking
in a number of places. I'm also not clear what the purpose of the metadata
is if you then tell the search robot to ignore it!
I think that's it from me, time to try debugging something that I want to
get working instead ...
regards,
Malcolm.
