Andrea Spinelli commented on NUTCH-585:
---------------------------------------

I absolutely agree that a more general solution is needed; however, I think 
that some of the Nutch current users might benefit from a quick fix.

If there is no opposition, I could submit a patch (less than 20 lines)

On the other hand,anybody thinks that blocking selected portions of text could 
pose serious architectural or stability risks?

About the more general solution, do you think there is a viable path from here 
to there?

> [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!
