You say that you don't want to *search* the text of index.html, so I would
do exactly that. I would index normally and in the search form use either:
<input type="hidden" name="exclude" value="index.html">
or (more likely to work):
<input type="hidden" name="restrict" value="message">
One tidbit--when the text of links is indexed, it counts as plain text for
the page it's on, but it counts a description (i.e. description_factor)
for the page that's the target of the link. So that hyperlink text counts
for the messagexxxx.html pages automatically.
