Yes. First, if you're running 3.1.5 or earlier, apply this patch, which
adds a METADESCRIPTION template variable to htsearch.

char *title = ref->DocTitle();
3.2.0b3 and later snapshots already have this new template variable.
Then, modify your result templates to use the METADESCRIPTION template
variable in place of TITLE. You can simply uncomment the template_map
definition from your htdig.conf file, and edit the common/long.html
and common/short.html template files to use $&(METADESCRIPTION) instead
of $&(TITLE).
Also, you should not set use_meta_description to true, because you don't
want the descriptions to appear as both the title and as the text in place
of the excerpt.
I suggested this technique to someone else in January, but the patch
never made it into the patch archive.
