Hi! I'm a new editor / user in Umbraco, and I'm having an issue with site search results. Our company has a general product brochure that we would like to be returned in the site search results whenever someone searches for other product-specific brochures.
I had begun adding this general brochure as a Resource Page in each of our product's Literature Resource Folders, when it occured to me that every one of these might show up in a site search. So I did a quick site search, and, sure enough, I've got a jillion search results for this file. I only put descriptive words in one of the "Description" tabs in the hopes that that might eliminate duplicate results.
I'm not a developer, but we have one I can work with. Is there a way to prevent these dupes, or should we change out strategy for putting this general brochure on the site.
It's hard to say since we don't know how you developer implemented search on your site. It can be done in many ways from using a simple 3rd party package to building something customized. No Umbraco solution is done in the same way - It's up to the implementor to decide on the proper approach from project to project. Essentially Umbraco is just their "Framework" to build upon.
So you need to get in touch with the developer and ask him about it.
