The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Not sure what the current state of meta keywords is. I know that years
ago, back before Google dominated the search engine world, everyone put
meta keywords in their HTML documents so that the search engines of the
time (Altavista, WebCrawler, HotBot, Lycos, etc) would find their pages.
Then people started doing studies on which keywords were more frequently
searched for so you knew what was most effective to put in your meta tags.
Then "web marketing firms" would sell software that automatically put
the most popular keywords into your meta tags, even if they had nothing
to do with your site. This caused a lot of really bad search results to
show up in the search engines.
Then, someone (might've been Google) declared that they were going to
ignore meta keywords to provide more accurate results. I have no idea
if they still do that or not...
I know that part of Google's search criteria is based on the age of the
page. So an article from 1998 might not be in Google's index because
it's so old.
This is all conjecture. I don't know anything about how System iNetwork
markets to search engines, etc. I'm not involved with that part of
things. Maybe if Wayne Madden is paying attention to this thread, he
can give a better answer...

isn't there some keywords you can bury in a page to help google find you?
