Index Server META Tags Sample Page Incorrect Shows Close Comment Tag (170045)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Index Server 1.1
This article was previously published under Q170045 SYMPTOMS
When you perform property queries based on the META tag in HTML files, and
you set up the HTML file according to the sample Queryhit.htm file, the
Index Server does not return an documents.
CAUSE
The Queryhit.htm sample page (located by default in
wwwroot\samples\search\queryhit.htm) has an error in it that prevents the
proper cataloguing of META tags. The sample page incorrectly shows the
closing tag of an HTML comment as "--!>". The correct closing comment tag
for an HTML document is "-->".
Because the Index Server never sees an end to the comment tag, it ignores
all of the text following the opening of the comment, including the tags.
Consequently, this information is not indexed and will not be returned as a
result of a query.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, upgrade to Index Server 2.0 or Windows 2000 Indexing Service.WORKAROUND
Use the proper close comment tag ( "-->").
STATUS
This problem has been corrected in Index Server 2.0 and Windows 2000 Indexing Service.
