We have our own little internal search tool on our site, and it has the ability to OMIT certain portions of pages by putting a tag around the content you dont want indexed.
Basically like this
<ot93>This content wont be included in our site search results</ot93>
My question is - does google or any other search engine flip out when they see a tag that isnt recognized? Is there any risk of us "throwing" google for a loop or confusing it with this tag? We're going to use ot93 as the tag.
Thanks

Why not use <div class="somevalue"> as that would be compliant?

...and I don't think the engines have a problem with what you're doing.
If you can implement changes such as G1 suggested above, that would certainly be better, but failing that, the engines would overlook this and index whatever they could find on the page.

Because its my understanding that the search tool we are using wants us to use a unique, specific tag. I guess we could try putting it into a div class, but something tells me it wants <123> </123> instead. Thanks for the suggestions and responses.

Does your search tool access the site via HTTP, or does it simply access the various content files internally by folder and filepath?
If the latter, can you modify your scripts such that the tag is stripped out of the content as it is being sent out to be delivered by HTTP?
