[...] Maybe this is the best way to catalogue a doc, but we are in a different context. If I want to do a full-text indexing, I must have the complete html file, if I use the Meta tag, i can ask only for the header and the HEAD is normaly the 5% of the complete file. We have also to look at the net resources, and to the band width. The use of the Meta-Tag is not the best way, but only a good compromise among CPU load, Net Load and a Good indexing system Davide ------- Davide Musella davidmsl@anti.tesi.dsi.unimi.it
