Tag History
- What is it?
- The ISINDEX tag indicates that the browser must allow the user to
search an index by entering keywords. This legacy tag from HTML 1.0 is much
less common now that forms capability is available. Although it can be
placed in other areas of an HTML document, it is usually found in the
HEAD section.

Tips & Tricks
Browser Peculiarities
- Because this tag is not widely used, the addition of new tags that
would be supported parents of ISINDEX may break some browsers. It is also
not widely used anywhere but in the HEAD section, which some
parsers may take for granted.
