I am using htdig-3.2.0b6 to index my site. I want to weight the keywords meta tag to 0. However pages with the keywords are still showing up in my search results although the search term is not there in the rest of the text. I put the following command in my htdig.conf file:
keywords_factor: 0
Can you please let me know what could be wrong. It used to work for me when I was using htdig-3.1.6.
I believe handling of _factor attributes changed between 3.1 and 3.2. In 3.1 weights are computed during the dig and stored with their corresponding terms. Terms with a weight factor of zero are dropped and never added to the database. In 3.2 all scoring is handled at search time, which allows the various _factor attributes to be adjusted without rebuilding the database. As such, terms are added to the database regardless of their weighting factor. In 3.2 weighting is used only for scoring a match, not for determining what constitutes a match.
