Hi, I have two questions:
First, can Swish-e index OpenDocument files and the metadata in the
documents? That PDF and MS-Word must first pass through a filter, but
that XML is processed. OpenDocument is just zipped XML. I ask because I
am looking to expand our list of packages[1] which handle the OpenDocument
format to ones beyond productivity packages.
Second, speaking of metadata, does the MetaNames listed in the document
contents directives mean that arbitrary metadata in HTML / XHTML
documents? For example, if I index a site containing XHTML with lots of
Dublin Core[2], could I then search fields DC.Subject or DC.Creator
separately? I ask because I am quite curious about this and it was not
clear in the documentation. A search of the site and its documentation
for 'metadata' turned up empty for me.

PS. Thanks for a no-frames site. I just got through with the ht://dig
site which is heavily encumbered by frames and am extra glad that Swish-e
has skipped them.
