This is often an accurate short description of the page. (e.g. <a href="...">my weblog</a>, etc.) Also remember that by default, some weight is given via the backlink_factor to "important pages" that have a large number of links pointing to them. Finally, you might want to check the <META> keywords for the page--these won't show up in the results page, but can skew results. <http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#description_factor> <http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#backlink_factor> -- -Geoff Hutchison Williams Students Online http://wso.williams.edu/ _______________________________________________ htdig-general mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, send a message to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with a subject of unsubscribe FAQ: http://htdig.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html
