Some of our content is split across multiple pages. When indexing, the search appliance will, naturally, create separate index entries for those.
When performing a search containing keywords that match anything in the title or the meta tags of that page, I will retrieve a result for each page, which is not wanted. Do you have any suggestions how I could prevent that?
Just excluding everything but the first page is not an option, since that would exclude finding matches based on the actual body of the pages...

I assume you would still want page 2 or 3 of content to come as a result if a match? In that case on the subsequent pages surrounding the title, meta etc. with <NOINDEX></NOINDEX> and excluding that content would be one method.

I thought about that, and that would somewhat work. However, I would not get a match if the query contained a keyword for the body AND the title, correct?

Correct. The title will either be data to be searched or not be searched. You would also miss results where one term was on page 1 and the second on page 2. Delivering the entire content to the appliance, and letting the user then page through may be an alternative.
