certain pages not fully indexed

Hi everybody!

  I'm having a problem with htdig not indexing the body of 
MOST (but not all) pages using a certain layout. Here's a 
good example:
 
http://search.wested.org/cgi-bin/htsearch?config=smu.net.htdig&words=resiliency
You see there's no excerpt for the first match, and in fact, 
it's clear that htdig didn't index any part of that page 
except the title - if you search on keywords on other parts 
of that page, this page won't come up.

- At first, I thought it was something about the code on the 
layout, because it seemed to be doing the same thing to any 
page with that layout. But notice the third match. It's 
using the same layout, but the entire page is indexed.
- It's also not the size of the pages. You see the third 
match, fully indexed, is 32k whereas the first match, not 
indexed, is only 27k.
- It's not the <!--htdignoindex--> tag. I've set the noindex 
tag to be <htdignoindex>, and I'm using it successfully on 
pages using the "NCLB" layout, like the second match.

You can see more of that here:
 
http://search.wested.org/cgi-bin/htsearch?config=smu.net.htdig&words=ideas%20action
... you see that all the "NCLB"-titled pages are being fully 
indexed, and they all use the simple layout. The ones using 
the main layout are not being indexed fully, however. The 
NCLB pages are also using the <htdignoindex> tag 
successfully; you see that it's keeping the "Back to NCLB 
Overview" from showing up in the search results.

Can any of you see anything that's causing this problem? 
I've been poking at this for days, and now I'm sure it must 
be something obvious that's right before my eyes that I'm 
just failing to see.

One more thing - the one page using the main layout that 
does seem to be indexed fully is also the main page of the 
site. So I wondered, is it just showing up because it's the 
first indexed page? But I tried starting the indexing from 
other pages on the site, and it's still the only page using 
the main layout that gets indexed fully.

Right now htdig is set to no_excerpt_show_top, which is why 
you're seeing blank spaces. If I take that off, it will show 
the default message about your search terms not showing in 
the top of the document. So that's cool.

Thanks so much for your time!
