I have been using Simple Search on a Freeway site for a number of years but time has come to give client something a little more exact - in terms of results returned.
Is anyone aware of a plugin (or similar) that you can configure to only return certain freeway pages as results - currently too many results are returned depending on what user enters as a search parameter?
You can certainly exclude certain areas, pages or folders from the results.
Excluding specified content from the Simple Site Search Action
Three new Actions were introduced in Freeway 5.6 which let you exclude items, pages and page folders from the search results generated by the Simple Site Search Action.
To exclude the content within an item from the search results, select the item then go to Item>Actions and choose Remove from Simple Site Search.
To exclude the entire content of a page from the search results, make sure nothing is selected on the page then go to Page>Page Actions and choose Remove from Simple Site Search.
To exclude the content of all the pages in a particular page folder from the search results, select the page folder in the site panel then go to Page>Folder Actions and choose Remove from Simple Site Search.
But if the searcher isn’t precise in what they are looking for you are bound to get irrelevant results included - whether you are using SS or any other method.
