Is it some kind of precursor of Google Sitemaps? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML_element isindex…/isindex (deprecated) The :isindex element requires server side support for indexing documents. Visually presents a one-line text input for keyword entry. When submitted, the query string is appended to the current URL and the document is displayed with these keywords highlighted. Generally if the server supports this feature it will add the iisindex elements to documents without author intervention.

The latest link also says that it was “Dropped in XHTML 1.1 in favor of other more powerful existing form controls” (which one, I don't know, not that I care much about for now -- influenza is my main concern for now). -- /david_latapie U+0F00 http://blog.empyree.org/en (English) http://blog.empyree.org/fr (Français) http://blog.empyree.org/sl (Slovensko)
