Getting description

Is it possible to grab just the description off a website. I can't figure out how to even go about trying to do that. Since all websites are different, there's nothing to go by.

I have seen other sites doing it, but i have no clue how they do it. Does anyone have any ideas?

Any help is very much appreciated.

Hi,

Do a <cfhttp> operation over a url, and pass it the <cfhttp.filecontent> result to this udf,

http://cflib.org/udf/GetMetaHeaders

and which in turn return you the site's meta description..
