Issue in Search box

    Hi,
    How are you.
    I need a little help in the Search control.
    In my website I I had a search index that is search every page and it has created a XML file and an Index file in the App_Data/Search.
    I need to know the following thing.

    1.) In my web site if  I search for a word like "container", it is showing me the pages where there is no container word in the content but when you view the source of the page and find the word container, you'll see the container word is in title of an anchor tag or page name so on..

    2.) In XML search file does the "weight" attribute means the priority of the item to be shown, if so then what does "weight=-1" means.

    I hope everything is clear what I am saying.
    Please reply ASAP.

    Regards,
    Nimit verma.

    Hi Nimit,

    1. The crawler gets the HTML of a page this is why some elements could be added to the index segments.

    2. When weight is set to -1 then the attribute is not added to the search results. You can gather more information at How to customize the indexing of html documents

    Hi Ivan,
    Thanks for the reply.
    Now I added couple of new entries in XML file saying not to look into some divs with a particular IDs.
    But when I find something it is giving me results and in the description of the results it simply adds up everything thing on that page which is found in the result, I mean to say it shows Menu labels, Bread crumb. etc,. in the description.
    I have no clue whats going on.

    regards,
