Details

I think there are a couple of relatively simple changes that can be made to the configuration choices for htDig on www.mozilla.org that will improve the search results found on www.mozilla.org. 1. use noindex_start and noindex_end to remove the boilerplate in the templates from the indexing. http://htdig.org/attrs.html#noindex_start By default, these values are <!--htdig_noindex--> <!--/htdig_noindex--> and can be used in the template.html and template-nomenu.html files to surround the boilerplate and remove any hits being generated due to matches with boilerplate text. 2. use use_meta_description to allow authors to control the search excerpt that appears in the results. http://htdig.org/attrs.html#use_meta_description
