Wrapping the menu in 

<!-- <noindex follow="true"> -->

<!-- </noindex> -->

seems to have worked for me.  The links are followed but the menu content is
not indexed.

I suggest you to give a look at FAQ 4.15.

http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q4.15

You can decide not to index the menu (maybe just follow the links); give
a look at the noindex tag (which is not DTD compliant though - so if you
wanna validate your HTML code this must be skipped).

My suggestion is to put all the links in the head section (giving them
structure information - see HTML specification), and to use the
'htdig_noindex' comment to enclose the menu. For instance

<html>
<head>
....

<link href="sect1.htm" rel="next">
<...>
</head>

<body>
blah blah ...

<!-- htdig_noindex -->
<map>
<div>
<strong>Menu</strong><br>
<ul>
<li><a href="sect1.htm">Sezione 1</a></li>
</ul>
<div>
</map>
<!-- htdig_noindex -->

etc.

Have you tried to give a look at the 'backlink_factor' attribute for
htsearch? It should give more importance to resource pointed by those
links.

Ciao and ... hope this helps! :-)
