+1 - but I'm not volunteering for the job.
This should be a fairly simple addition. It still leaves the problem
that the first n spam keywords would still flood searches for those
words with the false matches. You might want to change the semantics
such that if you're over a certain limit, all keywords are ignored.
That could be pretty harsh, though. What if you set the limit to 8,
but htdig hits a page with 9 perfectly relevant keywords? The problem
is htdig can't really determine whether the keywords are relevant.
Only human intervention can do that. This config attribute may help
the problem, but there's no real substitute for a "you spam the index,
you don't get indexed" policy that's strictly enforced.
