Page and folder skip list This is a list of pages and folders that will not be scanned during the indexing process. Note that filenames and paths are case sensitive. Typically you would want to filter pages that the user should never be able to get to directly via the search function. Note that if the path to a page partially or fully matches any entry in this list it will be filtered. For example, an entry of “\private\” will filter “\private\file1.htm”, “\private\file2.htm” and “photos\private\athome.htm”.
As of V6, you can now also use the asterisk wildcard (*) to match a sequence of characters. For example, an entry of "\private\*\index.html" will skip all files named "index.html" in a sub-folder within "\private\". Skip files or directories that begin with an underscore When this is enabled, files or directories beginning with an underscore (such as those kept by Dreamweaver and FrontPage) will be ignored and skipped during Offline Mode indexing. Word skip list This is a list of words that will be filtered during the indexing process. Typically you would want to filter some small words that appear on every page such as, “and”, “or”, “the”, etc. Depending on your site you may also want to skip other words. For example, if your site had a thousand pages about different aircrafts, you might want to remove the word “aircraft” from the index, as it would match every page on your site.
Skip words less than x characters You can now specify the minimum number of characters that a word must be before it is indexed. It is defaulted to two characters so all single-character words are skipped. Skipping sections of a page from being indexed To exclude sections of a page (such as headers, footers, and navigation menus), please see "Skipping sections of a page". |
