Another question from a meta tag newbie

[Joshua J Pavel <jp...@us.ibm.com>]

I've been crawling the user groups, and I feel like Nutch can do this by
default, but I just can't seem to crack it.

I want to grab meta tags from indexed pages and insert them in the
database.  Specifically, I'll have some meta tags that identity the type of
content on the page, so that I can group results as either video, photo,
news, etc.

I looked into 655 and 855, but I believe those are for adding metadata, not
utilizing meta data already in the page.

What I expect, is that when I do a dump, I'd have the fields visible in
Metadata

I think Nutch-779 may be what I need, and as I'm running version 1.2, I
should have this capability.  I'm filling in db.parsemeta.to.crawldb, but
is there something else I need to do?  Or is it populating it, and dumping
the database doesn't show me those values?
