Background:
Out of the
box search results in SharePoint shows unnecessary data such as navigation, left
nav, footer, right nav etc., that may not be useful to end user. Fortunately,
it’s easy to exclude those items from appearing in search results by using a
technique called “Partial Page Exclusion”.
How to use:
Just include
a class called “noindex” for the items that needs to be excluded from search
results. This tells the crawler to ignore those items. Here is a sample example
in which crawler is forced to crawl only content present in body class. All
other items are ignored.
<!DOCTYPE
html>
<head>
<meta
charset="utf-8"
/>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<div
class="wrapper">
<div
class="header
noindex">
// Header Data
</div>
<div
class="topnav
noindex">
// Navigation
</div>
<div
class="body">
// Header Data
</div>
<div
class="footer
noindex">
// Footer Data
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
