That's only for the Enterprise Search, not main Inktomi indexes - is that
correct?  I don't know any global indexes that support such a scheme.

It would be useful to have a "standard" for this over for all global search
engines.  Something like <robot instruc="noindex,nofollow"> ... </robot> to
allow finer grained manipulation than the meta robots tag allows.  NOINDEX
and NOFOLLOW attributes for all tags that supported HREF attributes would
also be handy...particularly for e-mail addresses.
