This seems to be a frequent cause of confusion. The "keywords" input
parameter to htsearch has absolutely nothing to do with searching meta
keywords fields. It actually predates the addition of meta keyword
support in 3.1.x. A better choice of name for the parameter would have
been "requiredwords", because that's what it really means - a list of
words that are all required to be found somewhere in the document.
To restrict a search to meta keywords only, you must set all factors
other than keywords_factor to 0, and for 3.1.x, you must then reindex
your documents. In 3.2, you'll be able to change factors at search time
without needing to reindex.
Hmmm, seems like something that should go in the FAQ...
