How to prevent specified pages from being
included in your search engine index?
You can tell the indexer of Composer to ignore parts of your
site. To do this, simply click "Indexing options"
in the "Index" menu. In the "Indexing options"
window, use "Do not index these pages" to exclude
specified pages.
The exclusion item is simply a "Match pattern".
The match pattern is a standard web address or file address,
but may contain the common wildcards "*" and "?"
to make it match more than one web address, for example "http://www.mtopsoft.com/store/*",
"g:\test\*". The "*" will match any number
of any character and the "?" will match any single
character. Non-wildcard characters are matched without regard
to case (case-insensitive). URL masks should begin with "http://",
"https://" or "*".
You can also use "Only index these pages" function
to index only specified pages be included in the search engine
database.
Here are some examples:
The exclusion:
http://www.yoursite.com/member.html
prevents that file from being included in the index.
The exclusion:
http://www.yoursite.com/doc/*
prevents everything in the "doc" directory from being
included in the index.
The exclusion:
http://www.yoursite.com/*.txt
prevents files on "www.yoursite.com" that end with
the extension ".txt" from being included in the index.
The exclusion:
http://www.yoursite.com/doc?.html
prevents files like "doc1.html", "doc2.html"
from being included in the index.
The exclusion:
c:\mywebdesign\doc\*
prevents everything in the directory from being included in
the index.
How to prevent part of a page from being
indexed?
You can use special tags to prevent part of a page from being
indexed. If you want to prevent an entire page from being indexed,
please see How to prevent specified pages from
being included in your search engine index?
To prevent part of a page from being indexed, add the tag before
the section of the page to be ignored:
and the tag after the section of the page to be ignored:
For example:
<!--BeginNoIndex-->
... here is the part you do not want to
index
<!--EndNoIndex-->
When Composer indexes your site, it will ignore the contents
between these tags, thus prevent the text between these tags
from being included in the index.
How to exclude small words from the search
engine?
You can exclude small words or customized words list from
the search engine. To do this, simply click "Indexing Options"
in the "Index" menu. In the "Indexing Options"
window, "Words options" panel, check option "excluding
following words from the search engine".
