I have a doctype that goes in three directions: an article page, an external link, or an internal link. Since the doctype has a template regardless of where it goes, Examine Search treats it the same and directs the linked search result to what would be the Article page.

For items that are either supposed to go to an external URL or link to an internal PDF, this results in a "Page Not Found" error.

Is there any way to either filter any results with values in the "Internal Link" or "External link" fields out of Search entirely, or adjust the way Examine links these items in the search result? The latter would be preferred, but I'm not going to dismiss anything that actually works, regardless.

Thanks.

EDITED TO ADD

I've noticed that the SiteSearch.cshtml page has this code, and I'm thinking it's where I'd go for any results manipulation. Does anyone think anything in here might lend itself to an alteration in which an if statement detects whether or not a result has value in property field "externalLink" or "internalLink" (which is a media picker, but we'll deal with that later):

        string query = Request.Form["SearchQuery"];

            {
                var searchProvider = Examine.ExamineManager.Instance.SearchProviderCollection["WebsiteSearcher"];
                var content = searchProvider.Search(query, false);

                var results = content.Select(x => new SiteSearchResult()
                    {
                        Id = Convert.ToInt32(x.Fields["id"]),
                        Title = x.Fields["nodeName"],
                        Summary = GetPreviewText(x.Fields),
                        Score = x.Score,
                        Url = Umbraco.NiceUrl(Convert.ToInt32(x.Fields["id"])),

                    }).OrderByDescending(y => y.Score).ToList();

                results.RemoveAll(x => x.Url == "#");
