    Search problem - search page being returned in the results.

    Hi,

    I'm in the process of learning Umbraco and have encountered a problem with search.

    I've set up the examine config files, wired in my search box using a post and used the standard Razor Search macro.

    If I type in a search term which isn't on the site, I get zero results, as expected.

    However, I enter a term that is in the site, I get 2 results back.

    1 being the correct link

    and another being a link to the search page itself.

    I know I could put in some code to catch that result and ignore it but that doesn't seem right.

    So, does anyone have any ideas ?

    Thanks,

    Steve.

    Hi Steve,

    In your ExamineInex.config I believe you can under the excludenodetypes add nodes you dont want to be indexed in your examine (Lucene) index.

    Once done this then you would need to re-index.

    Hi Tom,

    I finally figured it out. It was the re-indexing bit that caused the problems.

    Is there a better way of doing that other than stopping the website on IIS, deleting the index directory and restarting?

    Thanks,

    S.

    Download this project http://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/examine-index-admin

    It re-indexes everything with the click of a button

    and this http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/examine-dashboard will show you the nodes, attributs being indexed.

    Hope that helps

    Tom
