  No, it can't yet. That's one of the major limitation of the
rpm2html/rpmfind tools right now. I never took to time to add
the code needed to extract those informations from the RPM to
rpm2html, hence it's not dumped on the HTML pages nor RDF
metadata, so rpmfind can't use them either,

  A piece of code showing how to extract those would speed up the
process of adding those functionnality, for those interested
the code gathering informations from the RPMs is located in
rpm2html/rpmopen.c in the rpmAnalyze() function IIRC.
