Menus & Other Regions Not To Index

Certain regions of documents/pages are ideally not indexed for searching, for example, a web-site menu may contain the names of all products on the web-site, clearly if every page contains this menu, then a search for any product name will yield all pages. To prevent this, these regions should be identified before indexing the pages commences. A page can contain any number of regions to ignore.

eg. ignore sections of HTML using these comments

<!--keyoti_search_ignore_begin-->
...region to ignore
<!--keyoti_search_ignore_end-->

Changing Ignore Region Tags

Before building an index, set the IgnoreBlockBeginPattern and IgnoreBlockEndPattern properties in the Configuration, see the Configuration section for more information.

eg.

IgnoreBlockBeginPattern ="<!--start menu-->"

IgnoreBlockEndPattern ="<!--end menu-->"
