#13 Problems with frames - sometimes get empty result (?)

[Bill Thies]

Opened by thies@mit.edu on 2002-03-06

Searching for "congelador", the third entry in my results
list, http://www.quemasucabeza.cl/congelador/, is
completely empty except for the TEK disclaimer. I think
this is because the page contains frames, with all the
content in a frame. We still don't handle frames well,
right? But why are we returning this page? We should
be able to filter out pages that have no content, or
pages that have only framesets.

There are other pages with the same problem -- e.g.

http://www1.las.es/~jose/angel/index.htm

in the "congelador" results set. This time, what the TEK
client sees is that "your browser doesn't support frames".

On this page it's even worse--they're using something
called an "IFRAME" where the TEK result is completely
empty. No TEK disclaimer or anything.

Also on search for "congelador".

I'm sorry for the multiple mails!

Other pages with an IFRAME end up completely empty,
too. For example, on searching for "dieffenbachia", this
one is empty:

No TEK disclaimer, either. I'll stop sending these now--
let me know if you have any shortage of examples :)

This needs to be tested to see if it is still a problem.
