Author Keywords and Metatags with Frames

Hello,

Okay, I know, frames are annoying, but I inherited the website and have to
work around them for now. Here's my problem:

I noticed that when I search for my organization's website on Google using our
name, the Google link came up as "[website name] Index" and there was no
descriptive text under the entry. So I went to the frameset page and added
meta tags for keywords, description, and updated the title of the index page to
be more descriptive. Since updating all of these, I've been patiently waiting
for Google to update is cache on our site.

Unfortunately, since the Google cache has been updated, nothing has changed
and it appears exactly as it did before. I clicked on the frame border on our
website to view source and everything seems in order.

Is there something about frameset pages that prevents search engines from
reading meta tags? Is there anywhere that I can add meta tags so that Google
(and other search engines) will see them?

Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Samuel
