Indexing just a portion of a webpage

M

Hello,

I have created a catalog for a website using the Indexing Service. Is
there a way to make the Indexing Service only index a portion of each
webpage in the site (i.e. the content area)? Right now, my search
descriptions are pulling back all of the text on each page (the
navigation, header text, ... ). As you can see below, this info is
pretty pointless. Does anyone know if there is a way to scan just the
content area?


********example search result*******

Demographics
Site Search. SIDCO. About SIDCO. Mission Statement. Affiliates &
Staff. Available Properties. Pawling Station Business Park. Peachey
Industrial Park. Search Properties. Business Assistance. Business
Attraction & Relocation. Business Retention. Start a New Business.
Economic / Community Assets. Education.


Thanks,

Matt

I have realized that the Meta Description can hold the description to
be indexed.......

<meta name="description" content="description goes here">

....however, this is a static solution. with this solution I will have
to copy a portion of content into this tag on all 85 or so pages in my
site. Also, this solution will not reflect text changes to the content
that the client will be able to make using Contribute...


any suggestions?
