The search engines can be helped by site designers who make use of various techniques such as <meta content="xxx yyy zzz"> tags in HTML. Searches can be created or tuned or configured to index purely over text or purely over meta-data or who knows how many variations. Decent configurations help the intended audience to locate info with minimal waste. HTML, SGML, etc., all of these have indexing support. An issue with Infocenter seems to be that indexing simply was never thought about.
