[PARSE-HTML plugin] Block certain parts of HTML code from being indexed
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: NUTCH-585
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-585
             Project: Nutch
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 0.9.0
         Environment: All operating systems
            Reporter: Andrea Spinelli
            Priority: Minor


We are using nutch to index our own web sites; we would like not to index 
certain parts of our pages, because we know they are not relevant (for 
instance, there are several links to change the background color) and generate 
spurious matches.

We have modified the plugin so that it ignores HTML code between certain HTML 
comments, like
<!-- START-IGNORE -->
... ignored part ...
<!-- STOP-IGNORE -->

We feel this might be useful to someone else, maybe factorizing the comment 
strings as constants in the configuration files (say parser.html.ignore.start 
and parser.html.ignore.stop in nutch-site.xml).

We are almost ready to contribute our code snippet.  Looking forward for any 
expression of  interest - or for an explanation why waht we are doing is plain 
wrong!
