Customizing / Filtering the Search Result

Joe,

Hi.

I want some content module/feature not to be returned when searching.

I found a setting in the web.config <add key="SearchableFeatureGuidsToExclude value="">.

Am I correct the value is the ModuleID of the content module? For example when I edit a content is has the mid=603.

I want to restrict these because some of my content module contains javascript code that when searching the user can see my code on the result set.

I noticed some results does not contain search result description. Can I restrict this also?

You help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Cesse

Re: Customizing / Filtering the Search Result

Hi,

That setting is for excluding entire features from the search index. In other words, if you don't want any blogs to be indexed, you would put the feature GUID in that setting.

If you don't want a particular instance of a feature to be included in the search index, you can remove the check from the "Include In Search Index?" option in the module settings.

HTH,
Joe D.

Re: Customizing / Filtering the Search Result

Hi Joe,

Sorry, but I can't find the Include In Search Index? button option in the module settings. 

I try to find it in the feature/instance settings but there was no settings for the Search Index.

Your guidance please.

 

You help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you.

Hi,

It is under the "General" tab in the module instance settings.

Re: Customizing / Filtering the Search Result

This ability to exclude specific items from search is only available for the Html content feature, not all searchable features support that option. It will only show up in the ModuleSettings.aspx page for features that support that option.

Best,

Joe

Re: Customizing / Filtering the Search Result

You can find the featureGuid either in the database or in the FeatureDefinition files under /Setup/applications/[appname]/FeatureDefinitions

where the [appname] in this case would be linksmodule

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: Customizing / Filtering the Search Result

Joe,

I have content features published on right pane of every pages of my site. 

When I search keyword that matched on the item located on the right pane, it renders results of all pages it was displayed. I want to omit redundancy. How will I do this?

Your great help is appreciated.

 

Thanks.
