Just a thought:

Another option that may or may not be faster than writing a filter would be
to modify index.c.  I wanted to be able to only index META tags that are
defined in METANAMES so I added the REQMETANAME setting to config.h.  It
only took a few minutes to make the change in the source.  

As I remember (perhaps incorrectly), the index stores words in categories
by number where the meta names are numbered 1,2,3... and everything else
get is zero.  (is that correct Jose?)  Sorry, I don't have time to look at
the source right now.

So it might be easy to ignore non metanames in index.c.
