[Egothor-tech] Query results page improvement

[Filip Koczorowski]

Is it possible for Egothor to display a fragment of an indexed web page 
in results, like Google does? As it is now, there are only a few tokens 
(words) surrounding the query string in the results.
For example, a search on "egothor" at 
http://www.egothor.dundee.ac.uk/egothor/ results in:
"students search centre egothor a java based search engine egothor 
dundee the 4 ..."
instead of
"Egothor A java based search engine
Egothor @ Dundee The 4th J of Dundee, Jam, Jute, Journalism and Java."
which makes the results page less readable.

One more thing concerning query results - Egothor generates a "page 
summary" for each result. It happens to be the very first part of text 
on the page ("access keys | text only SOMiS Court Senate RAE Hermes All 
Dundee SOMiS Homepage Privacy Legal Intranet Departments and Offices 
hosted..." in the earlier example). It is not very useful when indexing 
a group of pages with static content as the first paragraph, eg. a 
portal where each page has a navigational menu first.
Any hints on how to make a better use of "page summary"?

Thanks in advance!
