as far as I can see, nutch does not index any html meta-tags like description or keywords. Does anybody know the reason for this?


I'm not sure why Nutch doesn't do it, but a lot of search engines
stopped using those for scoring because they were abused by
spam sites that would stuff them with keywords.

Same reason - keywords and description meta-tags are rarely useful these days. But you may hope they are useful if you crawl .gov, .mil, and sometimes .edu domains.
