from that page: description: The value allows you to specify an alternate excerpt (description) of a page. If the config-file attribute use_meta_description is used, then any documents with descriptions will use them instead of the automatically generated excerpts. The weight that words in the content string will have in search results is controlled by the meta_description_factor attribute in your configuration.
I assumed the keywords tag wasn't needed, that it would search the document for the query terms, then if documents are found matching the query, they would be returned, and the meta-description would be shown. Does keywords have to be used in conjunction with description? -----Original Message----- dont you have to have meta name=htdig-keywords? http://www.htdig.org/meta.html where did you read about that line in your conf file? - Jon From: Chad Day [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2004 11:53 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: use_meta_description not working.. It's just returning an excerpt of the document. I have use_meta_description: true in my .conf file. what else do I need to do? The meta tag in the file I'm testing this on looks as follows: <meta NAME="description" value="This is the meta description for this document, written by cgaudet."> Any ideas? :( little frustrating.
