How do I index a site map?

Sitemap can be helpful in pointing our crawler to webpages that are not internally linked within your website. When you add a new domain, we look for a sitemap at the root (e.g. www.website.com/sitemap.xml) of the domain and index all the links on the sitemap.
‍

Follow these steps to add your sitemap to your collection:

Check if the sitemap exists on your website by going to www.yourwebsite.com/sitemap.xml. If sitemap is already present, skip to 3.
If sitemap is missing, then ask your website developer or technical team to add sitemap to your website.
The name of the sitemap must end with "sitemap.xml" in order to be crawled. It can be located under any directory (e.g. www.yourwebsite.com/site/first-sitemap.xml)
Log in to your console and select the relevant collection.
Navigate to Domains section and click on "Diagnose".
Enter the URL of the sitemap, e.g. www.yourwebsite.com/sitemap.xml as the URL and press "Diagnose".
It will return a message "Page not found in the index." Press "Add to Index".

The sitemap will be indexed and it might take a few minutes or a few hours depending on the amount of pages on your website and load in our index queues.

If you click on "See extended debug information", you might see a MIME error on the Page Debug tool. This error can be ignored, and your sitemap and all the links on your sitemap will be indexed.

How to hide a field in a search interface?

Background

When you generate an interface via console for a Site Search collection, we return title, description, URL, and image(optional) in the search results. In some instances, you might want to hide title, description, or URL.

Limitation

Our default interface uses URL field for click-tracking, and it must be returned in response, otherwise, the click-tracking won’t function. Hence, if you try to remove URL field, it will return an error:


tracking field 'url' missing from result.

Instructions

To hide ‘title’ or the ‘description’ field from the search interface:

Generate an interface from the Integrate section in the console.
After choosing the relevant options, and generating an interface, click on “View code“
Add the “fields” parameter in the values object. See example below which will only return and render ‘title’ and ‘URL’:


values: {"q.override": true, "resultsPerPage": "10","q": getUrlParam("q"), "fields":'title,url'}
