SYMPTOMS
If you include Web search information such as Web keywords (also known as META tags) on your Web page, you may experience the following behaviors:
- Web searches that use those keywords are unsuccessful.
- If you try to verify the Web keywords by using Microsoft bCentral, you receive a status of Not found.
NOTE: For more information about bCentral and META tags, see the "More Information" section later in this article.
CAUSE
If you include Web search engine information in your Web publication, items that you enter in the Keywords box and the Description box are published in XML format instead of as META tag information. (To locate the Keywords box and the Description box, click Options on the Tools menu, and then click the Web Options button.)

MORE INFORMATION
META tags can describe a Web page, help search engines locate and index the page, and supply document information, such as when the page expires, how the page was created, and what theme it uses. META tags do not affect the appearance of the page.
