View or delete pages from existing index

Top  Previous  Next

This option allows you to browse the list of pages which exist in your current index. It also allows you to mark certain pages for deletion - removing them from the searchable content.

Note that this operation only applies to the current set of index files created. When you run a complete re-index, these changes will be undone. If you wish to prevent a page from being indexed so that it will never be in your index files, you should use the Skip Options.

Note: Deleting pages using this function will NOT decrease the size of your index files nor decrease the total number of files indexed (as  reported by the "Indexing status"). This means that if you have reached the Limits specified for your current configuration, you will not be able to use this feature to remove some pages and index some more. This feature will only remove the pages from the searchable content so that they will not be found when performing searches on the search page.

As with the update incremental features, it is recommended to perform a full re-index when possible, to obtain a more tightly compressed and efficient set of index files.

Note that the list of pages shown here is limited to 1,000 URLs only. In order to locate a URL in an index which contains more than 1,000 URLs, you need to enter part of the URL filename or path in the text box, and click on the "Filter" button. This will allow you to narrow down the number of URLs displayed so that you can find the URL you're looking for within the list.

If you are unable to perform an incremental update, please see "Incremental indexing requirements".
