We are evidently moving to Google as our enterprise search engine for our Government intranet. The site I administer has some content that I do not want coming up in search results. How do I make Google ignore it? I am on a Linux box, if that makes any difference. _____________________________ Duane Some people are like Slinkies . . . Not really good for anything . . . . .

I don't want to hide the whole site, just parts of it. How do I specify which directories should not be displayed. _____________________________ Duane Some people are like Slinkies . . .

Hi Duane, we have been looking at this as well and I have the same concerns.

According to Google:

quote:

".. it's easy to exclude any content that administrators don't want users to be able to search across."

And also

quote:

Does the Search Appliance honor robots.txt and robots meta tags?

Yes. The Google Search Appliance honors robots.txt files, plain text files that you create and put on your server to exclude search engine crawlers from accessing pages or directories on your site. The Google Search Appliance clients can also use the Admin Console to configure what areas of content are included and excluded from their search index.

It will probably take those who are in charge here around 4 years to make a decision though, so I probably won't have the opportunity to put it to the test any time soon

I guess most of us have things on Intranets we don't want indexed so something like this would have to take that into account.

All the best with it

Depending on what and how there are several approaches, give it a good read as I was suprised when looking over the different situations that you can create when I first found this. http://www.google.com/webmasters/remove.html Take care, Brian _____________________________ (in reply to BeTheBall)
