excluding documents from search results

I want to exclude all image files from search results. In site manager, I have tried:

Exclude Document Types From Search:
cms.file

and...

Exclude Documents From Search:
/Images/%

(where Images is alias path of my pics folder)

Neither works.
I would prefer to exclude documents/folder rather than cms.file as non-graphic files need to be searchable.

Any ideas??

RE:excluding documents from search results

Hello,

Could you please make sure you have specified alias path of the document into 'Exclude Documents From Search' and not the name path? E.g. on CorporateSite the name of the folder is 'Images', but the alias is 'Images-(1)'. You can find alias path of appropriate document in 'CMSDesk -> Content -> select document in tree -> Edit -> Properties -> General -> Other properties' section.

If this won't help you, could you please let me know what version of Kentico CMS you are using? For me this setting works well on CorporateSite in version 3.1.

Best Regards,

Martin Dobsicek

Folder name is "pics" and alias is "Images". I added Images to 'Exclude Documents From Search' and they still show in search results. I'm using V3.1.

I tried to reproduce your issue and find out this as a possible solution. Best Regards, Zbysek Nemec
