You could possibly implement your own exclusion system by building in "cloaking" for your navigation controls. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloaking 1. Implement code in your navigation control to detect the User Agent string of the current request which will determine if the page is being indexed by the Enterprise Search Crawler. You can get the crawler user agent string from the following registry key. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office Server\12.0\Search\Global\Gathering Manager] "UserAgent"="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows NT; MS Search 5.0 Robot)" 2. If the user agent matches the above than this.Visible = false; in your navigation control will hide it completely and the text will not be indexed. It's quite complicated to test and implement this sort of thing - Firefox has a User Agent Switcher add-on which you can use to test your code is working correctly. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59 Sezai Kömür BEng, BSc Senior Developer - Vivid Group Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist http://www.moss2007.com.au/ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brendan Law Sent: Thursday, 3 July 2008 3:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [OzMOSS] Custom Menu text appearing in search results Yes, and I think it's pretty crap... There should be some sort of indexer exclusion tag for the navigation controls. You can avoid this by changing the content source type in the SSP, from SharePoint to Web Site which will solve the problem, but can cause other issues... - Brendan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ajay Sent: Thursday, 3 July 2008 4:39 p.m. To: [email protected] Subject: [OzMOSS] Custom Menu text appearing in search results Hi, I am using custom menu in sharepoint site based on publishing template. The search is also getting results for the menu text, this means if the search keyword is in menu item than all the pages which have that menu are returned by search as well. Has someone come across this,, any ideas/suggestions most welcome.
