It uses the descriptions, but is doesn't display them.
When htsearch finds a matching document it either shows the top lines
of the document ("excerpt_show_top: true") or tries to get an excerpt
for the matching words from within the document and displays that.
In case no excerpt can be made, htsearch will just display a default
message that can be configured ("no_excerpt_text: ...") or display
the top of the document ("no_excerpt_show_top: true").
Maybe it would be a nice idea to have instead displayed the meta
descriptions? I suggest "no_excerpt_show: [top|text|description]".
This would make "no_excerpt_show_top" a deprecated tag, but could
still be used and will then overwrite the setting of "no_excerpt_show".
Any comments? Ideas?
cheers,
Torsten
