Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the scraper's page-indexing path and checking whether libzim's HTML parser is used, then compare the page parts that should be excluded across projects. Done means an agreed, project-appropriate way to omit irrelevant content from the index.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

We shouldn't index some parts of the page which are not relevant:

This is a hard feature since all this comes from online, and is a bit different in every project.

Note that default HTML parser from libzim (I don't recall if we use it or not) ignores everything inside <!-- htdig_noindex -->...<!-- /htdig_noindex -->
