Index only a part of website and linked documents

[jonguerre]

Hello,

I want to index only a part of my website (www.domain.com/news/) and also the linked documents (pdfs, docs, …). The problem is all documents are skipped because they are located under www.domain.com/files/ and Base URL is set to www.domain.com/news/.

I tried to set Start URL=”www.domain.com/news/” and Base URL=“www.domain.com/news/;www.domain.com/files/” but it doesn’t work an only one site are indexed (only root of www.domain.com/news/).

How can I accomplish this ?

Many thanks in advance for your help

John

You are doing the right thing. The base URL needs to have two URLs in it with a semi-colon.

But you need the full URL including the protocol, HTTP://

So try this for the base URL
http://www.domain.com/news/;http://www.domain.com/files/

Hello,

thanks for your answer, I tried to set in spider mode "http://www.domain.com/news/" as Start URL and "http://www.domain.com/news/;http://www.domain.com/files/" as Base URL but it doesn’t seem to work and only one site are indexed (only root of www.domain.com/news/). All other sites from http://www.domain.com/news/ are skipped with "External site – does not match base URL)".

Thanks for you Help

We've confirmed that this is a bug in the current release.

The multiple base URL feature (separated by semi-colon delimiters) is broken due to our adding the URL escaping feature, which encoded the ";" character inadvertedly. This will be fixed in the next release V7 build 1016.
