I'd suppose supplying your filter program with a list of exclusions (regexps or whatever). If a particular file your program is run against is in the list then do not index it. This is much more easier compared to tagging all <TMPL_INCLUDE> constructs and is flexible too. Think that you could just exclude all qr/_header\.tmpl$/
We wouldn't need to tag all the TMPL_INCLUDE tags. A reasonable default should be "no search". It's also possible someone will want a given include indexed on one page but not anther.
And there's of course a question whether you really want to index templates which are metadata of your website or its content.
See my reply to Phillip.
