You don't say exactly what connection you seem to think there should be
between meta tags in the HTML files and the exclude_urls attribute setting
in your htdig.conf file. There is no connection. The exclude_urls attribute
is a list of substrings which, if any is found in a URL, that URL will be
excluded from the index. It has nothing to do with the file's contents,
meta tags or otherwise, because htdig won't even fetch the file if its
URL matches one of the exclude_urls patterns.
Unless I'm misunderstanding what you want, it seems you want a "stop list"
capability, where a file is excluded from the index if it contains certain
"stop words" in your list. htdig doesn't have a stop list capability.
