A title and maybe a meta description belong to every single
page. But
much more important is usable and properly structured
content.

Meta Tag or Search Engine related?

Most SE results only search and show what's in the
Description or Title meta tags. Do I need to do something specific
where the search engine will search the CONTENT of the pages,
rather than what's in the Meta tags, or is this just a trait of how
some search engines work? Thanks!

Precisely! And that's why I was careful to not refer to it as
such: "Title
and Description tags"

I dowloard a book sample to iBook. I then deleted it and bought the book and downloaded it. The search engine will only search the 45-page sample and not the full book. How do I get iBook to search the full book?

I downloaded a book sample to iBook. I deleted it and then bought the full book and downloaded it. The search engine keeps only searching the sample, about 50 pages, and not the full book. How do I get the search engine to search the full book?

I am having this exact issue. I just downloaded a book and went to open it and got this exact problem.
I purchased he book through indigo/kobo edition and paid for it and immediately went to open it and am getting the same error
Error getting License. License Server Communication Problem only mine says Bad Device key after.
Not sure why someone has not answered this question yet...i am using windows 7 and this is how i always do it. Never had this problem before when purchasing a book.
i hope someone answers this soon.

A php search engine that only shows results that match entire serch string

I have set up a dreamweaver search engine through php and a fulltext search (WHERE MATCH (....) AGAINST (...). However, when someone inputs more than one word into the search form, the search engine churns out results that only have one of those words. How do I get it to only show results that have all the search string words inside? (or, at least, how do I get those results to show up at the top?)
I have seen some advice (here) that uses php code to process the search query, divide up the words, and place a BOOLEAN '+' between each of the words. By doing this, the search engine will only show results that fully match all the terms.
My problem is that I do not know how to put this code into my Dreamweaver-created code.
My dreamweaver created code:
<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
if (PHP_VERSION < 6) {
    $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
$theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);
switch ($theType) {
    case "text":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "long":
    case "int":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "double":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? doubleval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "date":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "defined":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
      break;
return $theValue;
$form_rsSearch = "-1";
if (isset($_get['search'])) {
$form_rsSearch = $_get['search'];
mysql_select_db($database_dataConnect, $dataConnect);
$query_rsSearch = sprintf("SELECT title, content FROM encyclopedia WHERE MATCH (title, content) AGAINST (%s)", GetSQLValueString($form_rsSearch, "text"));
$rsSearch = mysql_query($query_rsSearch, $dataConnect) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rsSearch = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsSearch);
$totalRows_rsSearch = mysql_num_rows($rsSearch);
$input_rsSearchResults = "-1";
if (isset($_GET['search'])) {
$input_rsSearchResults = $_GET['search'];
mysql_select_db($database_EMdataConnect, $dataConnect);
$query_rsSearchResults = sprintf("SELECT title, content FROM encyclopedia WHERE MATCH(title, content) AGAINST(%s)", GetSQLValueString($input_rsSearchResults, "text"));
$rsSearchResults = mysql_query($query_rsSearchResults, $dataConnect) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rsSearchResults = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsSearchResults);
?>
and the code the website (link above) gives is:
function search(String $search_string) {
     //strip Boolean search characters out of search string
     $search_string = string_replace($search_string,"+","");
     $search_string = string_replace($search_string,"-","");
     $search_string = string_replace($search_string,"*","");
     //split the search string up into an array of words
     Array $tokenized_search = split($search_string, " ");
     //init an empty final search string
     String $processed_search = "";
     //for each word in the search, wrap it
     //with an + and * character and then append
     //it to the processed_search variable
     foreach($tokenized_search as $token) {
          $processed_search+="+"+$token+"* ";
     //build the sql for the query and query the DB
     String $db_query = "select id, description
          from product_descriptions
          where MATCH(description)
          AGAINST ('"+$processed_search+"' IN BOOLEAN MODE)";
     Array results = execute_database_query($db_query);
     return results;
If anyone can instruct me on the correct way to go about this, I would be very much obliged.
Thank you,

Don't use the Search bar, type the address in the Location bar.

Only Yahoo and Bing appear in the search box and the Search engine manager only shows them too.

No matter what I try, only Yahoo and Bing search engines appear in the search box top right on Firefox. The Search engine manager only shows these two engines as well. I want to add Goggle and have not been able to. The default restore in the Search engine Manager is "Greyed out". What can I do to fix this ?

If those search engines are also missing in the searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) then a (re)install should restore them.
If they are present then try to delete search.sqlite and search.json in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Iphone application shows number as underlined, when used in native app, even after using meta tag for removing telephone no. formatting.

I have developed an app, which shows some numbers which are 10 digit long. I used meta tag for removing the formatting for telephone, so that the phone doesnt take those numbers as phone numbers.
It works fine when that page is launched through safari in iphone, but when i add an icon for that app to my iphone desktop and then launch it, the numbers are underlined.
I am using iPhone 4, Can anyone help, to remove those underlines?

Best practice for implementing META tags for content items?

Hello,
The portal site I'm responsible for managing our content (www.sers.state.pa.us) runs on the following WebCenter products:
WebCenter Interaction 10.3.0.1
WebCenter Publisher 6.5
WebCenter Studio 2.2 MP1
Content Service 10gR3
The agency I work for is one of many for the commonwealth of PA, which use this product suite, and I'm encountering some confusion on how to apply META tags to the content items for our site, so we can have effective search results. According to the [W3C site's explanation on META tag standards|http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_meta.asp], the tags for description, keywords, etc, should be within the head region of the HTML document. However, with how the WebCenter suite's configuration is set up, the head section of the HTML is closed off by the end of the template code for a common header portlet. I was advised to add fields to our presentation and data entry templates for content, to add these meta fields, however, since they are then placed within the body section of the HTML as a result, these tags fail to have any positive impact on the search results. Instead, many of our content items, when searched for, the description in the search results only shows text that is displayed in the header and left navigation of our template, which come early in the body section of the HTML.
Please advise as to possible method(s) that would be best to implement usage of META tags so we can get our pages containing content to come up in search results with this relevant data.
Thanks in advance,
Brian

if i remember right the index server will capture meta tags even if they are not in the <head> section. it is not well formed html but I think i remember that we created meta tags down in the body section and the index server still picked them up. you might try this and see if it still works. i believe it worked in 10gR3. Let me know your results.

Cannot create title tag, meta tags for iWeb site, per Google requirements.

I created simple website in iWeb to meet art show deadline
www.barbaraturnertigrett.com
but when I tried to submit to search engines (via GoDaddy "Traffic Blazer" product), several issues or errors noted...no title tag, meta tags, keywords, too little text, etc. Was told by Apple, there is no fix at this time...no way to access to actual HTML code, to add title tag or meta tags, etc...since iWeb is merely a consumer, not professional enterprise, product. Researching further, I even tried to submit to Google directly, not via GoDaddy "Traffic Blazer", but could not "verify" my url site (because meta tag missing and/or could not upload entire html file, as required. I'd produced client websites in past on Adobe GoLive and was learning Dreamweaver, when someone alerted me to simplicity of iWeb. It is clean and simple, but wish I'd anticipated these other issues. Is there a solution to this with iWeb or should I finish learning Dreamweaver and start over? Thanks for any advice you can share.

Both these last postings were helpful. THANKS. I could not open home.html file with "text edit", but when using Taco HTML Edit, it would open...so I dusted off (novice) HTML skills and entered the appropriate title tag and meta tag, per Google's requirements. Then, went to my GoDaddy hosting control center and (I think) I uploaded new file with new tags. Seems to be major lag time with any changes, so not sure my site is now successfully "verified", on Google. Hope I did not mess anything up, in the process. There seems to be various lag times before any changes take effect (right??).
So now...I'm very glad to find out about iMap and will buy it and watch the tutorial video, as instructed...since I am unsure if last 'fix'...fixed the problem, etc...and always eager to learn more. This is my first Apple discussion post, and certainly impressed/grateful for expert help. THX again.

Header Tags, Meta Tags, Google Search

Hi, just started using iweb 09 for the very first time, everything is common sense and easy to use but i've been pondering on how to add a header tag or a meta tag where a search engine such as google, yahoo or bing can find my website based on keywords i'd like my site to come up under. Any comments would be appreciated, thanks.

Spry optimization for search engines

I read in this post on the Dreamweaver forums (
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=12&catid=189&threadid =1272744&enterthread=y
) that data loaded by Spry is not available to search engines to
index. Is there a relatively simple way to make that data available
to the search engines? I know one poster mentioned a PHP call into
a hidden div but I am not sure how you would accomplish that. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.
If anyone has a better suggestion of how to access my data
you can view the page in progress at
3andband.com/TestSite/iframeTest.html
note: The menu bar is currently only a placeholder image.
Also, I am using an iframe because I need to maintain the
persistance of the music player.
One more question, would the spry:state property be capable
of providing any sort of loading message will the content of the
iframe loads? Since it is loading spry data.
Thanks!

Hello Bonniechester, '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
'''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
'''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.

Tags for searching my site?!

So how do I set up tags for my site? When I do a google search or yahoo search I get NOTHING!

First, you need to let the search engines know that your website exists.....

Looking for search engine-like word matching

I wonder if there's any package that can do word matching along the lines of search engines.
Let's say I have two ArrayLists of Strings:
'keywords' containing the Strings to search: "one", "two" and "three"
'match' containing the search criteria.
If 'match' contained "one" then the method would return 'true'. If 'match' contained "seven", the method would return 'false'.
Not really difficult, but the search engine syntax specifies the following:
Keywords that begin with "+" are mandatory
Keywords that begin with "-" must not be found
Keywords without prefix may be found
E.g. "+one", "+two" would return 'true', but "+one", "+four" would return 'false'. "+one", "four" would return 'true', since "four" doesn't have to be found. "+one", "+four" would return 'false', since "one" was found, but "four" was not. "-four" would return 'true', since "four" isn't part of the Strings to search. etc. etc. etc.
Does anyone know where to find a package that does this?
Regards,
Eric

Well, why write something if someone else has already done it? :-)
As for the searching of "four": Keywords that have a "+" or no prefix must be matched, so it returns 'false'. So it only returns 'true' if the list contains "four".
The whole point of the "+" is that if you have several keywords, the ones with "+" are mandatory, the ones without aren't.
So "+one", "+two" means "one" AND "two", whereas "one", "two" means "one" OR "two".

How to tell web host no meta tags or search words please?

I am getting ready to upload files to my new site but want to make sure there will be no search words for this site other than the URL. I use DW4. Thanks.

Meta tags are placed in the HTML. Your webhost has nothing to do with the content that you place on their servers, other than making it available to the world.
Look in files you created with Dreamweaver and see if you added any meta information, it would look something like this:
<meta name="typeOfMetaTagHere" content="The Actual meta info here">
If you don't see anything that starts with <meta... then you don't have any meta information on the page.

Title, meta tags for seo, where to put in code..?

Hi guys
Im trying to optimise my first ever site and Im doing it in dreamweaver. Ive figured out the title and meta tags are html and was just wondering whereabouts in my html code should I put them...?
Are they before the body tag..? Are they before my first div tag in the code..?
Are they in a specific div tag, e.g header div=title tag, meta tag = main content div....?
Any help would be great
Cheers :-)

I wasnt recommending he use meta-keywords, I was just answering his question. However, my employer has a huge static site with thousands of products and he is always listed in the top 5, if not number one in google searches. His site is all text with one image on each product page with an alt tag. He doesnt have ANY back links whatsoever, but uses page text content, meta-keywords, and meta-descriptions extensively. He doesnt even use heading tags. His site layout is with tables, and he uses deprecated html such as <font> and <center> tags on every page. Of course we have discussed the problems his site is going to encounter eventually with regards to his layout and use of the deprecated tags.
I'm not saying search engines use meta-keywords, but I have to say what ever he's done has worked very well.
My point is, I read and read about what search engines use and dont use to rank and index pages, yet I see contradictions everyday to both sides.

Meta tags for search engines needed only to homepage mainly ?
