Site search including _folders

S

Stephen Green

I've moved some pages out of the main folder(s) of our site to a new folder
called _tempfiles. I thought these folders would be hidden from sight of
searches.

The pages still show up. Have I misunderstood? Is there something I can do
to hide this folder from searching?

Thanks.

As a test, I moved the files to the _private folder. The site search STILL
finds them.

Stephen

in message I think the only folder that is default set to non-browsable invisible is
the _private folder. You may be able to set permissions on your host if the
host allows it, or have them do it. I "think" this will also hide it from
searches.

What I did for now is remove them completely from the site and marking them
"Do no publish" in my localhost site.

Add this cod in the head of the pages you don't want searched.
<meta name=robots content=noindex>

If you are hosted on a Windows IIS server with Index Server installed and running, a Index Catalog
must be built for the site exclude the folder you do not want searched.

Doesn't apply to the FP search component.
