Meta tags on a page describe the page. In the general sense, "metadata" is any data that describes data. So, in this case, the data is the web page, and the meta tags describe something about the web page. They might say that the content of the page is text/html, that the character set is latin1, and things like search keywords, a description of the page, etc. So the meta tags are tags that describe something about the rest of the page.As far as search engines go, you will need to use more then HTML and Javascript. But I assume you know that if you are in the PHP forum. The main thing to consider with a search engine is how your site is set up. If you have your page content saved in a database, then it's easy to search through the database. If you just want to search through HTML files, then that takes a little more work.
