[AEM6.5] Exclude particular folder from search in http://localhost:4502/aem/search.html

[Chaithra1998]

Hi Team,

I need one guidance in excluding particular folder in content search.

I have content placed under /content/project-content/../..

and the archived content of that placed under /content/archived-content/../..

When I search http://localhost:4502/aem/search.html for specific content it shows the content placed anywhere.

Where as I don’t want to see the content when I do search which is placed under /content/archived-content/../..

means search should exclude the content under /content/archived-content/../..  that means from above image only 

we can do this by using filter, but I want to exculde only one folder from search which is /content/archived-content/../.. 

please let me know any optimize suggestion of achieving the same.

Thanks

Hi @arunpatidar

Hi @Chaithra1998 
You mentioned that folders, so our assumption was the dam, thats why we recommended to exclude from dam index but you need to add same change in the page index. /oak:index/cqPageLucene

Hi,

The search is based on the properties (metadata) and paths indexed by the damAssetLucene index, by default there is a list of specific metadata indexed, you can find those details here: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/assets/manage/se... . So adjust it at your convenience.

Hope it helps

@Chaithra1998 you cab even remove read permission for that path to concerned user.. 

As informed by @arunpatidar @EstebanBustamante search results will be picked by respective content type index and apply acl on top of it.. so if the user doesn't have read access to those paths, they won't be displayed in results..
