Answer 1

Better you will try this below code:

$connection = Mage::getSingleton('core/resource')->getConnection('core_read');

    $sql        = "SELECT * FROM <table-prefix>_catalog_product_entity_text WHERE attribute_id=(SELECT attribute_id FROM <table-prefix>_eav_attribute WHERE attribute_code='meta_keyword') AND value LIKE '%$metaData%'";

    $products1       =$connection->fetchAll($sql);

Answer 2

Try adding it in manually:

Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection()
    ->addAttributeToSelect('*')
    ->addAttributeToSelect('meta_keyword')
;

Answer 3

I ran this on my own system and the meta_keyword field did come through.

One difference, however, is that in the first example you are loading the model whereas in the second example you are loading a collection. As such there is a huge difference in the SQL that is being executed.
