FrontPage search engine

Can I constrain the results of a FrontPage search engine? I have tested it,
and it apparently returns results based on the number of occurences of the
word rather than whether the word is the title of the page (which would be
more helpful for my users). What can I do about this--stuff the code with the
word on the page I want returned?
I'm just talking about the website FP engine, not external search engines.
Thanks in advance. I'm learning a lot from this group!

Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about this. The FP search engine,
and most other search engines, simply index all the words in a document into
a data file or database. The FP WAIS search engine offers no customization
and simply indexes everything it can find (omitting certain common words).

Hope this helps,
