Search Bar
Hi,

When typing in a keyword in the the kentico search bar, the results show files from the CMS backend.

It appears that Kentico searches the whole website (including backend folders and files) and not just pages.

E.g. http://www.childaustralia.org.au/Search-Results.aspx?searchtext=child&searchMode=AnyWord

Visitors shouldn't be able to search CMS backend files.
How can we change this so that only pages are searched?

Thanks

RE:Search Bar
Hello.

I am not quite sure what do you mean by "backend" document. How it differs with a standard document, please? Even folder (cms.folder) is just a special kind of a document, file (cms.file) as well. If you want to exclude some documents from search index, or search specific document type(s) only (e.g. skip cms.folder and cms.file document types), you can set it on smart search index´ level, as it is described here: http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/smart_search_definign_index_content.htm.

Best Regards,
