Hi folks,

OK, perhaps this makes me a newbie-newbie, but why would adding 
'description' to PropertyNames help here?  I thought MetaNames were things 
to _search_ on, and PropertyNames were things to _display_ in search 
results.  And in Julie's example she had 'description' in MetaNames, 
_searched_ on 'description', and didn't try to display any wacky 
properties.  So why didn't her initial example work?

Cheers,

David
