Hi all,

I am using Index server on IIS 6. I have created catalog
and indexed the website.  I am wondering if I can control
the generation of abstract other than the size.  What is
happening is that it is including the text navigation
hyperlinks that are at the top of the document.  And then
includes the rest of the text.  Should I write a code that
strips the initial characters or is there any way to
configure the abstract?

Can somebody tell me who the abstract is generated? Does
index server extracts first 320 text characters?

Thanks!

Joe

You can use the description meta tag in your html documents to specify the
abstract.  That way it won't be built from random text.

Go to the catalog, right click, property, the last tab, check the
checkbox "Generate Abstract".
