Hello,

Thank you for providing Perlfect Search. I have been using it for years
now and have always been extremely happy. I do have one problem that has
been nagging me.

The HTML of the majority of my pages on the site start similar to
this...

	<HTML CODE>
		<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Transitional//EN"
	
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
	
		<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
		
		<head>
		<meta name="keywords" content="kansas, university,
alumni, association, kansas university alumni association" />
		<meta name="description" content="Rock Chalk Ball" />
		<meta name="generator" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0"
/>
		<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us" />
		<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252" />
		<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0"
/>
		<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document"
/>
	</HTML CODE>

When indexed and searched I get these results in the resultant page...

	10. page.html
	The Description Meta Tag" />

If I take the "/" out of the description meta tag everything is fine.
The problem is the HTML Tidy and other editors want to correct this. Is
there a way around this or am I missing something?

Thanks,

Mike Wick
