Does Google use the keyword meta tags?

At least for Google's web search results currently (September 2009), the answer is no. Google doesn't use the "keywords" meta tag in our web search ranking. ... Google does sell a Google Search Appliance, and that product has the ability to match meta tags, which could include the keywords meta tag.
