As SDL LiveContent Reach indexes your publication, there may be certain topics that you do not want indexed. This procedure describes how to exclude topics from being indexed.
Procedure
- If you are in a SDL LiveContent Reach tool, click Home in the breadcrumb trail.
The Review and Collaboration landing page appears.
- In the Administration Tools pane, click Manage Application.
The Manage Application page appears.
- In the left pane, click Global Config.
- Ensure that the system has Libraries selected as
search.ignore
- If you are connected to SDL LiveContent Architect, republish your publication.
- If you are not connected to SDL LiveContent Architect, you must add a METADATA file for each topic you want to exclude by replacing the
[ID] with the @id attribute.
Example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ishobject ishtype="ISHLibrary" ishref="[ID]"/>
This would suppress a topic:
<concept id="[ID]" ... > ... </concept>
Once you run Upload and Prepare, the topics with an associated metadata file will not be indexed.
