I've just scanned some new html documents into Index Server, and the Meta
tags don't seem to appear in the properties page. I'm also not able to
query on them. Any help?

I'm relatively new to Index Server, but I believe what you have to do is go
into the MMC and find the meta tag in the properties list. Right click on
the property, and check the "Cached" checkbox. Then rescan the catalog, and
the custom meta tags will be defined in the index.

In your ASP (I'm assuming that's how you are doing this) you have to use the
Query object to define the custom property meta tag in your search with the
following code:

objQuery.DefineColumn "YourProperty (DBTYPE_WStr) =
d1b5d3f0-c0b3-11cf-9a92-00a0c908dbf1 YourProperty"

The GUID is the same for all custome Meta tags.

This should enable your meta tags to be returned in a search.

Hope this helps.

How do you write a value to a custom property?
I am trying to use a form to upload a document to a my server. The form
accepts properties for the document. I want these properties added to index
server search. I know I can make custom columns as described below but not
sure how to write my form variables to those columns.

Thanks in advance.

These custom properties are stored as Meta tags in the <HEAD> section of the
html document. Unless you are going to start implementing some really
custom database referencing to your document, you cannot directly write to
Index Server's database of content and document properties. Understand?

When the document is created, make sure you include metatags to list the
properties you wish the document to contain for purposes of your search.

example...
<HTML>
<HEAD>

<TITLE>Meta tags example</TITLE>

<META NAME="Author" VALUE="Willimena Gates">
<META NAME="Description" VALUE="test document">
<META NAME="Department" VALUE="Finance">

</HEAD>

<BODY>

When a document is uploaded, changed, or otherwise written on the server
(within the catalog scope), Index Server's database is updated (depending on
your server) after 15 to 30 seconds.

That's when you go into the MMC as below and you will see your property in
the list.
