Hilary,

In my continued (worthless) efforts to get this working, I have added
the following headers to one of my documents that I'm trying to search
on:

<title>Insurance</title>
<meta http-equiv="description" content="Insurance. - Requires login to
view this resource.">
<meta http-equiv="keywords" content="insurance, disability, benefits">

After adding these headers, I initiated a "full rescan" of the
directory that contains this document via the IS MMC.

I have tried searching on the three keywords contained in the header.
It doesn't even seem to work correctly.

Searching 'insurance' will retrieve the document, however, searching
for either 'disability' or 'benefits' does not retrieve the document.

Not to mention, I still can't seem to get this .aspx to
retrieve/generate a characterization or doctitle for my pages, even
though I have the setting correct in IS MMC and obviously have
appropriate <meta> tags in my page.

What's going on with this...should it really be this difficult? As you
can tell, I'm starting to get very, very frustrated.

Thanks again for your help.

Ric
