It might be interesting to look at the CGI output on its own first, outside of your ACSX control. This will allow us to isolate the cause of the problem a little better (and allow you to determine if the meta information is getting picked up better).

The meta information you have added in DNN does not tell us exactly what these meta tags look like. Please take a look at the actual HTML output being indexed (view the HTML source of the given page in the browser. If DNN specifies a meta tag that is named differently than what we expect, then they won't be picked up. Common cases include meta tags outside the <head>...</head> block.

You should also make sure you have caching disabled (on the "Spider options" panel of the Configure tab) if you are applying changes and expecting them to be picked up immediately.

The HTTP GET parameters are case sensitive and need to match with the "meta name" of the field specified.

Ray, Thanks for getting back. It helps to know that parameters are case sensitive but already tried that angle but going to look again in case I missed something. I will also try today pulling the CGI all out to test. I had it isolated a little in the control to see how you were setup the names of the text fields to make sure I was doing it correctly.

Here is a copy of the Header file. Could the ID in the meta tag be what is missing up the meta information?

Update: I create a separte CGI test area for the index and was able to get ZoomCategory to work correctly for the meta information. Still not sure what the Author is not working besides that this code has two sets of Author information which could be an issue but would not think so since I saw an example that is how you need to do it for better searching in another post.

Thanks again for your help. That is why I like working with your product because of the great help.

I tried indexing a page with the HTML given above, and it picked up the Author information correctly.

You can only use multiple tag values for meta fields which are specified as the "Multi-select" type. Since you mentioned that "AUTHOR" is specified as a Text type, it will only pickup the first value ("NCSL Dev Site").

I also noticed that your original query is:
"zoom_query=test&zoom_and=1&zoom_per_page=25&z oom_ xml=1&AUTHOR=ncsl"

(Note I updated the AUTHOR parameter to be in caps because that is how you specified it in the Meta Name).

This query actually requests that it only returns pages with "test" in the indexed content, and "ncsl" in the author meta field (due to the zoom_and=1 parameter specifying that all terms must match). Have you tried it with zoom_and=0 (in case the page in question does not contain the word "test")?

Whilst looking at this problem, I did find a bug in the CGI where a blank query will cause a meta field search with "match all search words" (zoom_and=1) to not return any results.

This isn't the scenario you gave, so it might be an unrelated issue. Nonetheless it will be fixed in the next build. Check the other things I mentioned above.
