12.5 Configuring search properties for Eclipse Help

For Eclipse version 3.4 or later, to prevent Eclipse from including in each search result the first 170 or so characters after the <body> tag of the topic, provide a <meta> element containing a description attribute in the <head> section of the topic; for example:

<meta name="description" content="How to polish widgets."/>

You can specify the content value in a FrameMaker marker of type MetaDescription, or use the content of a dedicated paragraph format; see §13.4.6 Supplying content for the <meta> tag

Note:   In Eclipse 3.4 this technique works only for HTML files, not XHTML files.
