Re: Jahia Metadata

Hi,

I am not sure I understand you but let's try to explain:

The current MetaData feature is currently only a standard Jahia container 
attached to a page (ike any other container on the page) with two small 
texts fields. So they are indexed like all the other containers in Jahia. 
However we also reuse the value of both fields in the HTML source code such as:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1"/>
<meta name="Description" content="test description"/>
<meta name="Keywords" content="test, keywords, page"/>

So this is not really MetaData (in the DublinCore.org sense for example) 
but just a way to fulfill the Meta Name of the generated HTML page.

Then if you search for a specific work (e.g. keywords in the above 
example), the search engin will return to you the extract of the "Keywords" 
field value. Same is true for the other Description small text. And this 
will be similar for any other container on the page.

Regards
Stéphane

BTW: We are working on better Metadata support (such as last modif date, 
last author name, last reviewer, description, etc...) for each Jahia 
container but this will come in the next Jahia release.
