Newbie question on results display



Hello all,

Please forgive this very simplistic question - I am new to webglimpse and so
am struggling through growing pains.

I am searching very specific pages (very limited number - only 45 distinct
pages right now) for listings of adoptable animals in the DC area.  the link
to the search engine is at http://www.metropets.org.  People who have been
testing out the search tell me that they are having trouble with the display
of results, so here are the questions:
(1) Can I automatically associate an identifier for each URL I give
Webglimpse to search, so that when the results come back it will say
"Montgomery county shelter" (which I have designated) and then the link to
the title of the page?  A lot of shelters don't put in proper titles on
their pages and so it's impossible to tell what shelter you're linking to.
(2) Can I parse out the bad text on some of the returns -- some returns
bring back HTML code mixed in with the description.  Or can I limit the
number of characters/words brought back in the search so that a huge
paragraph doesn't come back and crowd the page?

TIA,

Anne
