Removing wikipedia infoboxes from search abstracts.
Hi. You may be familiar with Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia. Results from Wikipedia tend to feature high in your search results. Wikipedia uses "infoboxes" to summarize technical information on some subjects. Although useful for humans, these infoboxes make the Yahoo Search abstracts for these pages appear nonsensical and with redundant information. I.e. searching for "Neon Genesis Evangelion" brings up


 * Neon Genesis Evangelion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


 * Neon Genesis Evangelion. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Neon Genesis Evangelion. 新世紀エヴァンゲリオン. ( Shin Seiki Evangelion ) Original run. 1995 – Present. No. of volumes. 10 (currently) No. of episodes. 26. Movies


 * en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon_Genesis_Evangelion - More from this site - Save

It names the subject of the article three times and defines Wikipedia two times. Still, it fails to define the subject of the article.

A better title and abstract from the above example would be:


 * Neon Genesis Evangelion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


 * Neon Genesis Evangelion (新世紀エヴァンゲリオン, Shin Seiki Evangerion?) is a Japanese animated television series, begun in 1995, directed and written by Hideaki Anno, and produced by Gainax. It takes place in 2015


 * en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon_Genesis_Evangelion - More from this site - Save

It would be better if information encolsed in tags and certain other information like disambiguation information was ommitted from the abstract. Could you do this?
