Abstracts Appear in Search Results if an Anchor Is Defined in Script Blocks

ID: Q232369

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

With Index Server Search 3.0 and Index Server, if you query for an expression, abstracts of the JavaScript code appear in the Search result if there is an anchor defined in the script block. For example:


..
  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
  function CreateWin(titre,param,url){
  //<A HREF="......................................"></A>
   if (param=="") {
   ...
  </SCRIPT>

If you remove the comment line with the anchor, abstracts of the JavaScript code do not appear anymore.
