The problem with meta tags in general (not for internally building up
different virtual databases) I found is that the user who has typed in a
search term may not directly recognise it in the search result (he assumes
that it is a program falt) as the page title may contain different words.
He is tempted to move on to a more close match what he would think will be
indicated by apperance of a search term in the title ? 

I think the choice of the page title is very impotant !

Any other idea on how to best build up the pages to gest best results and
satisfied users ?

Thanks

Thomas
