[Web4lib] GoogleBot; Google; CSE and metadata

[Drew, Bill]

I am looking to use links that go to the search results for our Google
CSE search engine I have set up for our website.  What I am planning on
trying to do is to create a separate page for every database we have
with unique subject based identifiers either in its metadata or in the
body of the webpage itself.   I prefer to put these in the metadata so
they would be hidden but will include them in the body of the page if I
must.  Does Google index metadata as well as the content of a web page? 
 
My objective is to create a page that lists topics that link to search
results so we can get a better breakdown of our databases based on
topics.  This seems to be an excellent way to use Google CSE.  I do not
have this working yet.  My alternative would be to mount an Access
database on our website.  I would prefer not to do that. Or website is
crawled quite regularly by the GoogleBot.
