Hello,

we are building very large indexes (> 1 million records).
Input are XML files / streams of XML-files using -S prog -i stdin.

We thought that we can reduce the size of the swish-e index in using
MetaNames. Normally we are using UndefinedMetaTags auto.

We believed that only strings found in XML elements
which are declared by MetaNames will used for indexing.
But swish-e is always indexing all words in all XML elements
(see below).

Is MetaNames really only to limit the search to just the words 
contained in that META name?

Is there a way to prevent words from being used for the index by swish-e?
Or do we have to exclude these XML elements from the input files?

Thanks a lot in advance to all people who develop(ed) this wonderful 
easy to use and extremly fast tool.

Bye, Uwe
