Re: I'd like to use a Radio Group, but...

Remember that htidg tries to find "best matches" so it is sometimes=20
difficult to tie keywords to specific pages, but if you have the=20
ability to modify the contents of the pages for which you are seeking a=20=

match, then you can tweak the system quite a bit. In other words, I=20
don't think it's possible to do exactly what you are looking for, but=20
here is what I would do:

Employ the htdig keyword meta tags (<meta name=3D"htdig-keywords"=20
content=3D"comma,separated,keyword,list" />) in the head of your=20
documents. Then, increase the value of the keywords_factor so that=20
matches including the radio button value will be ranked higher in the=20
search results.

Where I work we do something similar. We have a firm directory and want=20=

people to be able to find matches on employees' names (first or last,=20
or parts thereof). Thus, in the TITLE element we put their complete=20
name first. Then, in the htdig-keywords meta tag we put the same name,=20=

but include any "aliases". Then, near the top of the document we=20
enclose the name in H1 tags. This then gives us three values we can=20
manipulate to improve search results:

http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#keywords_factor
http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#heading_factor
http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#title_factor

We're satisfied by the results of this approach because it also finds=20
matches for this person in other parts of the intranet (like documents=20=

in the "best practices" section that this person has authored).

Hope this helps.
