How do I customise what a Front Page Search Page looks for?

As I undertand it, the FP text search engine searches all text within the
body of a page. How can I get it to also include the words in the "keywords"
tag of the head section in all my documents?
 
Not possible.

Thanks for the quick response. What would happen if I change the '
tag="BODY" ' to ' tag="HTML" ' within the '<!-- webbot ' description?
 
Try it, it just may work. Generally FP will correct any changes you make to any webbot component, if
and when you re-open the page in FP.

Could an alternative method of putting the keywords within a comments area
inside the body tags work, e.g.<body><!--keyword1, keyword2, keyword3, etc.
-->? Would the search engine pick these up?
 
The FP WAIS text search engine only indexes the viewable text on your page.

If you are hosted on a Windows IIS server with Index Server, then the search would include the meta
tag content as well.

Regular search engines will see all the content in your file.

Use white font to place the words you want searchable (assuming you're using
a white background). Otherwise, whatever color your background is, make the
font that color for these searchable words.
 
That will get your site penalized by the major search engines.

The Keywords in the Keywords Meta tag should be in the text on the
page, so any search will pick them up.
