Does Appliance index meta http-equiv?

My pages contain META tags that look like this:
<meta http-equiv="thunderstoneKeywords" content="moon, rubberband, pepsi">
The profile is configured to index ALL meta tags. Will t the search appliance not index them because I'm using http-equiv instead of name? If so, can that behavior be controlled?

It will index the keywords from any of the forms: http header, meta http-equiv, and meta name.

That does not seem to be the case. Is there a way i can verify that?

Sorry, I misspoke a little. For standard meta tags, keywords and description, or specific tags you name in "Meta tags" it will look in headers, meta name, and meta-equiv. For "all meta" it looks at meta headers and meta name but not http-equiv. Including everything in http-equiv could get you all kinds of junk you don't want to be searching. So instead of using "all meta" enter "thunderstoneKeywords" into "meta tags".
