Re: [platform-help-dev] Unexpected Search Behaviour

Robert,

If you just change the extension of the topic file (the file still has HTML
content) IE can still render the file as HTML, but apparently Mozilla
doesn't.
So no, there is nothing built into the help system to skip indexing some
files. Since the number of non-indexable files is small, it probably
doesn't hurt searching anyway.

We want the topics to appear (they'll be HTML files) and for users to be
able to
view them, but it probably doesn't make sense to search'em.  We have a
number
of topics, such as legal notices or lists of trademarks or an index, that
don't make
sense to search.

I gather from your response, y'all never thought to support this.

Why would you like to exclude topics?
You can give the topics a different extension (other than html, htm, xml or
txt) and that may work.

A questin related to this issue . . . . Is there a way to _exclude_
certain topics in the TOC from being searched?
