Need meta description in results, getting much more...

All I want is for the meta description to show in the results... nothing else! I am getting the meta description, then the title, then page text... config.php settings:

define('SUMMARY_DISPLAY_LENGTH',300);
define('SNIPPET_DISPLAY_LENGTH',0);
define('DISPLAY_SNIPPETS',false);
define('DISPLAY_SNIPPETS_NUM',0);
define('DISPLAY_SUMMARY',true);
define('APPEND_TITLE_META',true);
define('TITLE_WEIGHT',3);
define('SUMMARY_LENGTH',300);

phpDig ver1.8.3
Site: http://www.mediavue.net/
Search for: marketing
Example: 1st result

Also, for which (if any) of the above configuration settings do I need to re-spider the site in order for changes to take effect?

PhpDig does not have an option combo to just return the META description, but if you leave your options as posted, you can try the following untested code edit.

In robot_function.php find:
PHP Code:
$first_words $titre_resume."\n".$page_desc['content'].$db_some_text
and replace with:
PHP Code:
$first_words $titre_resume."\n".$page_desc['content']; 
or replace with:
PHP Code:
$first_words $page_desc['content']."\n"

Nope, still didn't work... Do I need to re-index the site? I am generally confused about when you need to re-index the site - do you need to after changing any of the settings I listed above? Thanks for your help, too BTW...

Yes, you need to reindex after making the code change. A good rule of thumb to use when changing the config file is, after you make a config file change, do some searches, and if you don't see anything different, a reindex is likely needed.

OK - after some tweaking, I think that worked... I am having a problem now though where blank results keep coming up... like this:

Results 1-25, 52 total, on "demo"

CRM - Customer Relations Management Software (42.64%)
CRM software solution, CRM - Customer Relations Management with Web-based content management.
http://www.mediavue.net/programming/..._software.html 26.6 k

>>(42.64%)
>>
>>0.0 k


Any ideas?
