What Search Engines that are not PPC based do not use Metas? Also which ones read JS?

Google does use meta tags only if there is no other text on a page, for example if its flash based or entirely graphical. Google does not provide any boost based on meta tags, it is used as a last resort and should be done this way since webmasters can abuse keywords in meta tags for popularity gain. Other search engines have adapted similiar practices in weighing meta tags less and less since the potential for abuse is too great.
