meta description ignored?

[nice42q]

Is the meta description of a page ignored? Can it be displayed if it is available?

hi, thanks for feedback! displayed/ignored -- where exactly? it's for sure indexed, see the `/IndexSchema_p.html`, solr schema, or click _metadata_ with particular indexed page. whether it's taken into account in search ranking, is set in `/RankingSolr_p.html`, see <https://eldar.cz/yacydoc/operation/ranking.html>

displayed/ignored -- where exactly?

It should also be output for the yacysearch.html page. (search results)

[okybaca]

you mean the "snippets", parts of pages, displayed after each found page title?

Yeah, Title -> URL -> Text (the meta description should appear here) -> modification date [...]

Some settings of the search results page can be changed in: _Administration > Search Portal Integration > Portal Design > Search Page Layout_ (`/ConfigSearchPage_p.html`) but there is no specific 'description' setting. I believe the snippet generation it's done somewhere here, in the code: https://github.com/yacy/yacy_search_server/blob/master/source/net/yacy/search/snippet/TextSnippet.java
