I've been scouring the htdig site and faq, and need help understanding the most basic of things :
When a search is performed, where does the description that appears with the result come from? >From the faq, people refer to Meta Descriptions and Excerpts. I'm assuming the meta descriptions is whatever is defined within the meta tags of the html pages that are crawled. Where is this Excerpt information gathered from? Also, I've seen the discussion of the use of the excerpt_show_top and no_excerpt_show_top configuration attributes. Dumb question : what exactly is considered the "top" of the html page? I've inherited a search server to administer (and have very limited experience with htdig), but here's the problem I'm having : My search results have garbage in the descriptions. Literally, it is picking up image 'alt' values and whatnot, and displaying it as the description. So as a result, I get : Title of matching document ... Info Frequently Asked Questions About Us Contact ... which are clearly parts of our menu structure within that html page. Anyone who can help me understand how htdig and htsearch grabs this information would have my eternal gratitude. - Duane ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
